CVE-2024-9289

WordPress & WooCommerce Affiliate Program <= 8.4.1 - Authentication Bypass to Account Takeover and Privilege Escalation

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.
