WP Front‑end login can run malicious code via links

CVE-2025-23540 · published 1 year ago
Summary

The WP Front‑end login and register plugin (versions up to 2.1.0) does not properly clean data it shows on web pages. An attacker can craft a link that, when clicked by a user, makes the browser run unwanted code, potentially stealing information or performing actions on the user’s behalf. Update the plugin to a newer safe version or replace it with a trusted alternative, and educate users to avoid clicking unexpected links.
