The bugs are located on server side in the Limit Login Attempts, Exception Handling Error & Intrusion Detection module with the \r\nbound vulnerable email address & error parameter. Successful exploitation can result in wordpress application account steal, client side \r\nphishing & client-side content request manipulation. Exploitation requires medium or high user inter action & without privileged \r\nweb application user account.\r\n\r\nVulnerable Module(s):\r\n\t\t\t\t[+] Better WP Security - Limit Login Attempts & Intrusion Detection\r\n\t\t\t\t[+] Exception Handling Error\r\n\r\nVulnerable Parameter(s):\r\n\t\t\t\t[+] Email Address\r\n\t\t\t\t[+] Error\r\n\r\n\r\nProof of Concept (PoC):\r\n=======================\r\nThe persistent vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers with low required user inter action & low privileged \r\napplication user account.
