Description
The Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to security feature bypass in all versions up to, and including, 5.7.1. This is due to a flawed authentication mechanism within the maybe_process_login function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass the Password Protection feature and view password protected pages.
