The Really Simple Security WordPress plugin before 9.8.1 does not prevent an unauthenticated request from resetting an account's completed email two-factor enrolment, allowing an attacker who already knows the account's password to bypass the second factor and obtain that user's session, up to administrator.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
