Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to BaptouTatis.
The Temporary Login Without Password plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to broken authentication in all versions up to 1.9.9 (exclusive). This is due to the plugin not revoking authorization after login revocation. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Custom-level access and above, to utilize application passwords even after their account has been revoked.
