AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Network-reachable JWT signature bypass needs no auth or interaction (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), and forging an admin identity yields full C/I/A compromise.

Unauthenticated Bypass Vulnerability in Headless Single Sign On <= 1.6 versions.
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in the miniOrange Headless Single Sign On WordPress plugin (versions 1.6 and earlier) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to forge or manipulate JWTs and assume the identity of any user, including administrators. The CWE-347 root cause (improper verification of a cryptographic signature) combined with a network attack vector yields a critical 9.8 CVSS. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the WordPress site have the miniOrange Headless Single Sign On plugin (version ≤ 1.6) installed and active with its JWT-based authentication/SSO endpoints reachable over the network. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This scores at the top of the severity range: the CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack with no user interaction and full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability - consistent with the CWE-347 signature-bypass class and the authentication-bypass tags. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker crafts a JWT with the desired user claims (e.g. an administrator ID) and submits it to the plugin's headless SSO/API endpoint; because the plugin does not properly verify the token's cryptographic signature, it accepts the forged token and grants an authenticated session. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade the Headless Single Sign On plugin to a release later than 1.6; the input data does not include an exact fixed version, so treat this as 'Patch available per vendor advisory' and confirm the specific patched build via the Patchstack listing (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/headless-single-sign-on/vulnerability/wordpress-headless-single-sign-on-plugin-1-6-bypass-vulnerability-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) or the miniOrange plugin changelog before deploying. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: identify and catalog all instances of miniOrange Headless SSO plugin across WordPress deployments, noting version numbers; immediately disable the plugin or restrict network access to affected instances if immediate disabling is not operationally feasible. …
