CVE-2024-10097: CWE-287 Improper Authentication in Softaculous Loginizer Security
The Loginizer Security and Loginizer plugins for WordPress are vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.2. This is due to insufficient verification on the user being returned by the social login token. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing user on the site, such as an administrator, if they have access to the email and the user does not have an already-existing account for the service returning the token.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability in Loginizer Security and Loginizer plugins for WordPress (up to version 1.9.2) involves improper authentication (CWE-287) due to insufficient validation of the user identity returned by social login tokens. This allows an attacker who knows a valid email address to bypass authentication and gain access as any existing user, including administrators, if the targeted user does not already have an account linked to the social login provider. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.1, reflecting network attack vector, high complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication controls and log in as any existing user on the WordPress site, including administrators. This compromises the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system, potentially leading to full site takeover or data compromise.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is released, administrators should consider disabling social login features provided by these plugins or restricting access to trusted users only. Monitor official Softaculous and plugin vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
