#44403 closed defect (bug) (duplicate)

WP_Error object is not returned. Only assigned to a variable

Description

Function: wp_validate_user_request_key
File: wp-includes/user.php
Line no.: 3512

According to the doc comment the above function should return wither a boolean value or a WP_Error object.

* @return bool|WP_Error WP_Error on failure, true on success.

At line number 3512 the WP_Error object is stored in a variable but never returned.

<?php
...
if ( ! $wp_hasher->CheckPassword( $key, $saved_key ) ) {
   return new WP_Error( 'invalid_key', __( 'Invalid key' ) );
}

if ( ! $expiration_time || time() > $expiration_time ) {
   $return = new WP_Error( 'expired_key', __( 'The confirmation email has expired.' ) ); // Line no. 3512. The new error object was never returned.
}

return true;

Shouldn't it be

<?php
if ( ! $expiration_time || time() > $expiration_time ) {
   return new WP_Error( 'expired_key', __( 'The confirmation email has expired.' ) );
}

like the code block just above it?

I am uploading a proposed patch for this. Please let me know if this works.
