Description

The login-social WordPress plugin through 1.0.4 does not validate password-reset requests against a reset key or the requester's identity, and it issues authentication sessions from unverified third-party sign-in data, allowing unauthenticated attackers to reset any user's password or log in as any existing account, including administrators, and take over the site.

Affected WordPress components

A confirmed match is backed by the plugin or theme slug. A possible match is based on the product name only and should be verified.

Affected products and versions

  • Unknown login-social — Up to and including 1.0.4
