Login loop with reauth=1

  • When I go to …/wp-login.php or ../wp-admin I log in with the account. However as soon as I’m logged in, and navigating around the wordpress site, I’m instantly redirected back to the login page, with a URL parameter like: ../wp-login.php?…&reauth=1

    When I try to log in again, nothing happens. This seems to happen all the time now, and I’m not able to do any admin as a result. I think disabling the WPCerber plugin works, but is there a way to fix this, while keeping the plugin?

    I also keep getting the errors in the WPCerber log:

    Login failed?Invalid cookies cleared/wp-admin/admin.php

    I also noticed that the WPCerber plugin seems to have been removed from the WordPress site (WordPress says some vulnerability issue). Will an update be re-instated on WordPress, so I can see if that fixes our issue?

    Is there a setting I need to disable to fix this? I don’t see any setting that seems related to clearing cookies, or reducing re-authentication strictness.

    At the moment I’m being spammed by re-authentication/re-login redirection every couple of minutes. This doesn’t seem to happen if I disable the plugin, so I think must be a problem with one of the settings.
