Input validation vulnerability in Two Factor (2FA) Authentication via Email 1.9.8

The Two Factor Authentication via Email plugin for WordPress has a security vulnerability. This means that in versions up to and including 1.9.8, the two-factor authentication can be bypassed. This is because of a method called SS88_2FAVE::wp_login(), which only requires two-factor authentication if there is no ‘token’ parameter in the login request. This means that anyone can bypass two-factor authentication by entering any value, even an empty one, for the ‘token’ parameter during login.
