Circumventing New user Approve by resetting password
-
I discovered today that a new registrant can bypass approval if they do the following after creating a new account,
1) User creates new account
2) User then goes immediately to reset password form and submits a request for a new password
3) User logs in using password reset options and then has ability bypass admin approval
This is a serious issue. I experienced it on a WordPress 5.0 install.
