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.
Weakness
The requirements for the product dictate the use of an established authentication algorithm, but the implementation of the algorithm is incorrect.
