The Theme My Login 2FA WordPress plugin before 1.2 does not rate limit 2FA validation attempts, which may allow an attacker to brute-force all possibilities, which shouldnt be too long, as the 2FA codes are 6 digits.
The product does not implement sufficient measures to prevent multiple failed authentication attempts within a short time frame, making it more susceptible to brute force attacks.
