Until an official fix is available, restrict subscriber-level access and higher to trusted users only. Monitor plugin updates from webfactory for a security patch addressing this missing authorization vulnerability.

Description

The Login Lockdown – Protect Login Form plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the generate_export_file function in all versions up to, and including, 2.08. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber access and higher, to export this plugin's settings that include whitelisted IP addresses as well as a global unlock key. With the global unlock key an attacker can add their IP address to the whitelist.
