Description

The PSW Front-end Login & Registration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.12. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to logging them in. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to authenticate as other users, including administrators, without a valid password.
