2th percentile - higher than 2% of all known CVEs

Summary

The Google Authenticator WordPress plugin before 0.56 does not verify a CSRF nonce when saving its two-factor setup. This allows attackers to trick a logged-in user into overwriting their own 2FA secret with an attacker-controlled value, which enables two-factor authentication and locks the victim out of their account.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can take over a user's account, locking them out and potentially gaining access to sensitive data.

Recommendation

Update the Google Authenticator plugin to version 0.56 or later. Additionally, ensure all write operations are protected against CSRF.
