CVE-2026-77753 Details
Description
The Temporary Login Without Password WordPress plugin before 1.9.9 does not prevent a temporary user from creating an Application Password, and does not revoke one when the temporary access expires or is disabled, allowing the recipient of a temporary login to retain working access to the site over REST and XML-RPC after the administrator believes it has been withdrawn. The retained access carries whatever role was granted, which for the Temporary Login Without Password WordPress plugin before 1.9.9's main use case is Administrator.
A vulnerability exists in the Temporary Login Without Password WordPress plugin in versions prior to 1.9.9. The plugin allows temporary users to create Application Passwords, which are not revoked when temporary access expires or is disabled. This oversight enables users to retain access to the site via REST and XML-RPC, with the same role privileges granted during the temporary access, typically Administrator.
Users are advised to update the Temporary Login Without Password WordPress plugin to version 1.9.9 or later.
