# Limit Login Attempts WordPress plugin: two-factor login bypassed via alternate login route

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-118201 (this .md is for agents)

The Limit Login Attempts Security WordPress plugin before 3.4.1 does not enforce two-factor authentication on every password login route. An attacker who already knows a protected user's password can sign in through an alternative login interface and get that user's access without the second factor.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed version of the Limit Login Attempts Security plugin in the WordPress admin under Plugins; versions before `3.4.1` are affected.

## From the sources

The Limit Login Attempts Security  WordPress plugin before 3.4.1 does not enforce its two-factor authentication on every password-authentication route, so an attacker who already knows a protected user's password can authenticate through an alternative login interface and obtain that user's access without completing the second factor.
