Account takeover via unverified identity selection
Published Aug 22, 2026 · Updated Aug 22, 2026
Improper authentication in SmilePass Selfie Login 1.0.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to access any registered account. The selfie login flow accepts the requested identity without server-side verification, but the published material does not identify the handler, request field, or session routine. No prior account is required, and selecting an administrator identity grants administrative access to the WordPress site.
