Security flaw 2FA – Skipping Password validation
-
Hey everyone,
i stumbled over this weird problem. We use this Plugin for different reasons and wanted to enable 2FA to make the website more secure.
This way a user has to login with username and password and use an authenticator app in addition.Here is the problem: whatever i type into the password field i get redirected to the 2FA page and succesfully log in without ever having to put in the normal account password.
This is a major security risk since people no longer need the password.
I tested this on another website too just to check if custom code is in conflict but got the same effect.
Am i missing something here or does this just skip the password validation?
