AI-analyzed exploit summary This repository contains a functional exploit for CVE-2025-10294, demonstrating an authentication bypass via JWT forgery using an empty HMAC key. The PoC includes steps to forge a JWT, send it to a login endpoint, and verify the bypass.

Description

The OwnID Passwordless Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.4. This is due to the plugin not properly checking if the ownid_shared_secret value is empty prior to authenticating a user via JWT. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as other users, including administrators, on instances where the plugin has not been fully configured yet.
