Critical severity, CVSS 9.8. EPSS: 2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The WatchTowerHQ plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in versions up to, and including, 3.10.1. This is due to the 'watchtower_ota_token' default value is empty, and the not empty check is missing in the 'Password_Less_Access::login' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in to the WatchTowerHQ client administrator user.

Affected products

• Watchtowerhq Watchtower: up to and including 3.9.6
• Watchtowerhq Watchtowerhq: up to and including 3.10.1
