CVE-2024-10114: CWE-287 Improper Authentication in WPWeb WooCommerce - Social Login
The WooCommerce - Social Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.7. 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
CVE-2024-10114 is an authentication bypass vulnerability (CWE-287) in the WPWeb WooCommerce - Social Login plugin for WordPress. The issue stems from inadequate verification of the user identity returned by the social login token, enabling attackers without prior authentication to impersonate any existing user on the site, including administrators, provided they know the user's email and the user does not have an existing account linked to the social login service. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 2.7.7 and is rated high severity with a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.1 (Network attack vector, High attack complexity, No privileges required, No user interaction, Unchanged scope, High confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact). No patch or vendor advisory indicating remediation is currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication controls and gain access as any existing user, including administrators. This can lead to full compromise of the affected WordPress site, including unauthorized data access, modification, and potential site takeover. The high CVSS score reflects the critical impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, it is recommended to disable the WooCommerce - Social Login plugin or restrict its use to trusted users only. Monitor for updates from WPWeb and apply any official patches promptly once available.
