Unauthenticated account takeover via unverified JWT claims
Published Oct 4, 2025 · Updated Oct 4, 2025
Authentication bypass in miniOrange OAuth SSO Client 6.26.12 and earlier allows remote attackers to access WordPress accounts via forged JWTs. The get_resource_owner_from_id_token function decodes and trusts identity claims from an ID token without verifying its signature or validating the token. Reaching the flaw requires an enabled OAuth or OpenID Connect SSO flow; forged claims can take over matched users, including administrators in certain configurations, or create subscriber accounts.
