Login Lockdown & Protection <= 2.14 - IP Block Bypass
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 5.3
cwe CWE-330: Use of Insufficiently Random Values
published Dec 12, 2025
The Login Lockdown & Protection plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to IP Block Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.14. This is due to $unblock_key key being insufficiently random allowing unauthenticated users, with access to an administrative user email, to generate valid unblock keys for their IP Address. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass blocks due to invalid login attempts.
Login Lockdown & Protection <= 2.11 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary IP Whitelisting

cvss score 5.4
cwe CWE-862: Missing Authorization
published May 6, 2025
The Login Lockdown & Protection plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized nonce access due to a missing capability check on the ajax_run_tool function in all versions up to, and including, 2.11. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to obtain a valid nonce that can be used to generate a global unlock key, which can in turn be used to add arbitrary IP address to the plugin allowlist. This can only by exploited on new installations where the site administrator hasn't visited the loginlockdown page yet.
