AI-suggested

Upgrade the Temporary Login Without Password plugin to version 1.9.9 or later, where this privilege verification issue is fixed. Until patched, restrict administrator access on multisite networks to trusted users only. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the input data, but the presence of a fixed version (1.9.9) implies an official fix is available in that version.

Description

The Temporary Login Without Password WordPress plugin before 1.9.9 does not verify that the user requesting a temporary login holds network super admin rights before granting the new account those rights, allowing an administrator of a single site on a multisite network to take over the whole network. The same missing check also allows an existing account, including the attacker's own, to be promoted.
