WP Directory Kit: Currently marked unpatched

Affected versions: 1.4.0-1.4.4

Vulnerability type: CWE-303 Incorrect Implementation of Authentication Algorithm

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

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.

WP Directory Kit <= 1.1.9 - Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion via wdk_public_action

WP Directory Kit: Currently marked unpatched

Affected versions: *-1.1.9

Vulnerability type: CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

The WP Directory Kit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in versions up to, and including, 1.1.9 via the 'wdk_public_action' function.
