AI-suggested

Upgrade the Descope WordPress plugin to version 1.2.0 or later, where this authentication validation flaw has been fixed. No other mitigation is required once the plugin is updated.

Description

The Descope WordPress plugin versions before 1.2.0 contain an improper authentication vulnerability. The plugin does not validate authentication tokens before creating WordPress sessions, accepting any non-empty token. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to obtain a session for any existing user account, including administrators, by supplying the target account's email address.
