Critical · 9.8 Public exploit CVE-2025-0316 EUVD-2025-1600GHSA-fj85-459r-fjwq

WP Directorybox Manager <= 2.5 - Authentication Bypass

Published Feb 8, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026 · Assigned by Wordfence

Description

The WP Directorybox Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in versions up to, and including, 2.5. This is due to incorrect authentication in the 'wp_dp_enquiry_agent_contact_form_submit_callback' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing user on the site, such as an administrator, if they have access to the username.
