Several Newfold plugins are vulnerable to Authentication Bypass. The vulnerability exists because the plugins bundle the wp-module-data module. In the module, the method — registered on the filter and therefore evaluated for every unauthenticated REST API request — performs an HMAC-style Bearer token comparison that degenerates when returns : PHP coerces to , collapsing the secret salt to the publicly known constant , while all remaining hash inputs (HTTP method, request URL, raw request body, and the header) remain fully attacker-controlled. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attacker Initial-access exploit intelligence.
