What to do
AI-suggested
Until a fix is available, site administrators should consider restricting Subscriber-level access or disabling the plugin if possible to mitigate risk.
Description
The WP Login and Register using JWT plugin for WordPress contains a vulnerability in all versions up to and including 3.0.0. This flaw arises from a missing capability check in the 'mo_jwt_generate_new_api_key' function, allowing authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher to generate a new API key if the site does not already have one configured. This unauthorized API key generation can enable access to restricted endpoints.
