DescriptionCVE.org

The SmilePass Selfie Login WordPress plugin through 1.0.2 does not perform any server-side verification of the identity it is asked to authenticate, allowing unauthenticated users to log in as any registered account, including administrators.

AnalysisAI

Authentication bypass in the SmilePass Selfie Login WordPress plugin (all versions through 1.0.2) lets an unauthenticated attacker log in as any registered account, including administrators. The plugin trusts a client-supplied identity for its selfie-based login flow and performs no server-side verification, so a request simply asserting a target username is accepted. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The only prerequisite is that the target WordPress site has the SmilePass Selfie Login plugin (version ≤1.0.2) installed and active, exposing its selfie-login endpoint to the attacker over the network. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals are consistent on severity but mixed on urgency. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker discovers a WordPress site running SmilePass Selfie Login, then sends a crafted request to the plugin's selfie-login endpoint asserting the 'admin' account without supplying any valid biometric proof. The server issues a valid authenticated administrator session, and the attacker uses it to install a malicious plugin/theme for remote code execution and full site takeover. …
Remediation No fixed version is identified in the available data - the advisory states the plugin is vulnerable 'through 1.0.2' with no confirmed patched release, so treat this as No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: identify all WordPress installations running SmilePass Selfie Login and immediately disable or remove the plugin; preserve access logs for forensic review. …
