CVE-2025-13390WP Directory Kit <= 1.4.4 - Authentication Bypass to Privilege Escalation via Account Takeover

Updated under an hour ago ()

Does this affect you?

It affects listingthemes WP Directory Kit and 1 other product. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

The WP Directory Kit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.4 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.
