miniOrange's Google Authenticator <= 5.5.82 - Missing Authorization

6.3
Missing Authorization
CVSS 6.3 (Medium)
Publicly Published September 16, 2022
Last Updated January 2, 2023

Description

miniOrange's Google Authenticator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on an the mo_wpns_malware_redirect function in versions up to, and including, 5.5.82. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to initiate/terminate malware scans or obtain the malware scan status of a currently ongoing or the last scan. Terminating ongoing scans could aid an attacker who is attempting to infect a site, while repeatedly initiating new scans could lead to resource exhaustion. Additionally, knowing the status of the last scan might help an attacker who wishes to further compromise a site or server.
