WP 2FA – Two-factor authentication for WordPress <= 2.5.0 - Cross-Site Request Forgery

WP 2FA – Two-factor authentication for WordPress: Currently marked unpatched

Affected versions: *-2.5.0

Vulnerability type: CWE-352 Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

The WP 2FA – Two-factor authentication for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.0.

WP 2FA <= 2.2.1 - Time-Based TOTP attack to Sensitive Information Exposure

WP 2FA – Two-factor authentication for WordPress: Currently marked unpatched

Affected versions: *-2.2.1

Vulnerability type: CWE-204 Observable Response Discrepancy

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

The WP 2FA plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in versions up to, and including, 2.2.1 due to the use of a linear-time comparison operator when comparing token hashes. This allows an attacker to gain information about authentication tokens by observing small time differences in server response times. This is a vulnerability that is generally not realistically exploitable over the internet due to other factors that will have a greater influence on response times.
