Account takeover via unchecked AJAX login flow
Published Feb 12, 2024 · Updated May 6, 2025
Authentication bypass in miniOrange Web3 before 3.0.0 allows remote attackers to log in as any WordPress user by knowing a username. The handle_auth_request and hadle_login_request AJAX handlers issue a user nonce and login cookies without correctly verifying the claimed identity. An exposed WordPress login flow and a known account name are sufficient, and administrator impersonation grants the account's full privileges.
