Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP 2FA – Two-factor authentication for WordPress plugin versions up to, and including, 2.5.0

Description The issue is related to Insecure Direct Object Reference. It affects the send backup codes email function due to missing validation on a user-controlled key. This allows subscriber-level attackers to email arbitrary users on the site.
