The JSON API Auth plugin for WordPress up to version 3.1.2 suffers from an authentication bypass vulnerability due to cached session cookie disclosure. The parent plugin caches authenticated responses keyed only by URI and query string, ignoring HTTP method and POST body, causing authenticated cookies to be exposed to unauthenticated GET requests. Attackers can retrieve a valid Administrator session cookie and fully authenticate as the Administrator. Exploitation requires the parent plugin to be active with the Auth controller enabled and a recent legitimate Administrator authentication. The vulnerability has a critical CVSS score of 9.8.
