Summary
CVE-2024-9822 is a vulnerability affecting the Pedalo Connector plugin for WordPress. The issue lies in the insufficient restriction of the 'login_admin_user' function, allowing unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication and log into the system as the first user, typically the administrator. This can lead to unauthorized access and potential data breaches or site takeover. Users of Pedalo Connector plugin versions up to and including 2.0.5 are advised to update immediately to mitigate this risk.
