Upgrade the Limit Login Attempts Security WordPress plugin to version 3.4.1 or later, where this issue is fixed. No other mitigation is indicated by the available data.

Description

The Limit Login Attempts Security WordPress plugin versions before 3.4.1 have a vulnerability where two-factor authentication (2FA) is not enforced on all password-authentication routes. This allows an attacker who already knows a user's password to bypass the second factor by authenticating through an alternative login interface, gaining access without completing 2FA.
