CVE-2022-4693: Pickplugins User Verification

Critical severity, CVSS 9.8. EPSS: 1.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The User Verification WordPress plugin before 1.0.94 was affected by an Auth Bypass security vulnerability. To bypass authentication, we only need to know the user’s username. Depending on whose username we know, which can be easily queried because it is usually public data, we may even be given an administrative role on the website.
