WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
WP Directory Kit < 1.4.5 - Privilege Escalation via Account Takeover
Description
The plugin is vulnerable to authentication bypass due to incorrect implementation of the authentication algorithm in the "wdk_generate_auto_login_link" function. This is due to the feature using a cryptographically weak token generation mechanism. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to gain administrative access and achieve full site takeover via the auto-login endpoint with a predictable token.
