Description

I am getting one security issue on my website. I am sharing the steps below

  1. I have installed the cookies editor extension in my Chrome browser
  2. Then I logged in to my WordPress website
  3. Clicked on the cookies editor icon and there is an export option->Export as JSON

  1. Then I Logout the admin panel
  2. Clear all the cache and cookies.
  3. Open the cookies editor again and import the JSON which I got while exporting and click on import

Then I refresh the page, I can see that I am logged in to the admin panel without login details.

Any idea how to solve this issue?
