Unauthenticated account takeover via predictable magic-link tokens
Published Jul 8, 2026 · Updated Jul 8, 2026
Authentication bypass in WPDO DoLogin Security 4.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to access targeted WordPress accounts. The dologin\s::rrand() helper seeds Mersenne Twister from only the microsecond fraction and builds each 32-character magic-link token with mt_rand(), reducing the seed space to about one million deterministic candidates. Exploitation requires an active passwordless link, valid for up to seven days, plus its known or guessable numeric ID; a recovered token logs in directly as that account, including an administrator.
