Low risk14th percentile - higher than 14% of all known CVEs
Summary
The Temporary Login Without Password WordPress plugin before 1.9.9 does not prevent a temporary user from creating an Application Password, and does not revoke one when the temporary access expires or is disabled, allowing the recipient of a temporary login to retain working access to the site over REST and XML-RPC after the administrator believes it has been withdrawn. The retained access carries whatever role was granted, which for the plugin's main use case is Administrator.
Risk Assessment
The retained access carries the role granted at account creation, which for this plugin's main use case is Administrator. This can lead to persistent, unnoticed site takeover.
Recommendation
Update the Temporary Login Without Password plugin to version 1.9.9 or later. Review and revoke any Application Passwords associated with temporary accounts.
