including, 4.03.32. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to generate login tokens for arbitrary WordPress users under certain circumstances, issuing authorization cookies which can lead to authentication bypass.
Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2025-6441 affects the WebinarIgnition plugin for WordPress, which enables live, evergreen, automated, and instant webinars as well as Zoom Meetings streaming. The vulnerability involves unauthenticated login token generation stemming from a missing capability check in the `webinarignition_sign_in_support_staff` and `webinarignition_register_support` functions. This issue impacts all versions up to and including 4.03.32 and is rated with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), mapped to CWE-862 (Missing Authorization).
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely with low complexity and no privileges required. By invoking the affected functions, they can generate login tokens for arbitrary WordPress users under certain circumstances, resulting in the issuance of authorization cookies that enable authentication bypass. Successful exploitation grants high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts, potentially allowing full account takeover.
References to the vulnerability include WordPress plugin trac browser links pinpointing the flawed code in class-webinarignition.php (line 549), class.WebinarignitionAjax.php (line 769), and class.WebinarignitionManager.php (lines 1040 and 53), along with changeset 3333177, which likely addresses the issue in newer versions beyond 4.03.32.
