CVE-2026-118201 PUBLISHED

Limit Login Attempts Reloaded 3.0.0 - 3.4.0 - Two-Factor Authentication Bypass via XML-RPC

Assigner: WPScan
Reserved: 27.10.2026 Published: 09.11.2026 Updated: 09.11.2026

The Limit Login Attempts Security WordPress plugin before 3.4.1 does not enforce its two-factor authentication on every password-authentication route, so an attacker who already knows a protected user's password can authenticate through an alternative login interface and obtain that user's access without completing the second factor.
