Summary
The WP Directorybox Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.5. This is due to incorrect authentication in the 'wp_dp_parse_request' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing user on the site, such as an administrator.
