Description
The WIP Custom Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability and nonce check on several the wip_custom_login_backup_reset action in versions up to, and including, 1.2.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to invoke the function to reset the plugin's back-up.
