WP Directory Kit <= 1.4.4 - Authentication Bypass

CVE-2025-13390
Verified

Description

The WP Directory Kit plugin for WordPress version 1.4.4 and below contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in its auto-login functionality. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to gain administrative access by exploiting a cryptographically weak token generation mechanism that uses only the first 10 characters of MD5(user_id). For user_id=1 (typically admin), the token is always predictable.
