Google Authenticator < 0.56 - 2FA Secret Overwrite via CSRF

Published Aug 6, 2026 · Updated Aug 6, 2026 · Assigned by WPScan

Description

The Google Authenticator WordPress plugin before 0.56 does not verify a CSRF nonce when saving its two-factor setup, allowing attackers to trick a logged-in user into overwriting their own 2FA secret with an attacker-controlled value, which enables two-factor authentication and locks the victim out of their account.
