Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CISA ADP. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-287.
Summary
The miniOrange 2FA WordPress plugin from 6.2.9 before 6.3.1 does not stop a pending passkey login from registering an additional passkey on an account that already has one. An attacker who knows a user's password can add their own authenticator and bypass the second factor, as improper authentication (CWE-287) allows. The attack requires network access and low privileges, and a public exploit is linked in the references.
