Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.58%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

The WordPress & WooCommerce Affiliate Program plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 8.4.1. This is due to the rtwwwap_login_request_callback() function not properly validating a user's identity prior to authenticating them to the site. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any user, including administrators, granted they have access to the administrator's email.
