Summary

The Block User Account plugin before version 2.0.1 does not enforce its account block on every authentication path, allowing a blocked user who holds an application password created before the block to retain their full role-level read and write access through the REST API.

Risk Assessment

A blocked user can still perform operations on the account, posing a threat to security and data integrity.

Recommendation

Update the plugin to version 2.0.1 or later and consider invalidating application passwords after a block.
