## Affected

- Unknown Temporary Login Without Password: from 1.5, fixed in 1.9.9

## Description

The Temporary Login Without Password WordPress plugin before 1.9.9 does not verify that the user requesting a temporary login holds network super admin rights before granting the new account those rights, allowing an administrator of a single site on a multisite network to take over the whole network. The same missing check also allows an existing account, including the attacker's own, to be promoted.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Unknown Temporary Login Without Password, upgrade to a fixed version (1.9.9) per the references below.
