Description
The WP Login and Register using JWT plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the 'mo_jwt_generate_new_api_key' function in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to generate a new API key on site's that do not have an API key configured and subsequently use that to access restricted endpoints.
