The WP Login and Register using JWT plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the 'mo_jwt_generate_new_api_key' function in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.0.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the WP Login and Register using JWT plugin for WordPress, where a missing capability check in the 'mo_jwt_generate_new_api_key' function allows authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher to generate a new API key if the site does not already have one configured. This unauthorized generation of API keys can then be used to access restricted endpoints on the site.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can allow attackers with low-level authenticated access (Subscriber-level) to escalate their privileges by generating new API keys, which can then be used to access restricted parts of the website. This could lead to unauthorized data access and potential exposure of sensitive information.
