Recommendation: Plan a near-term fix — a public PoC already exists.
The Really Simple Security WordPress plugin before 9.5.10.1 does not enforce the second-factor challenge in two of its two-factor authentication REST endpoints, allowing an attacker who knows a user's password to obtain a WordPress authentication session for that user without completing the email OTP challenge.
