The Registration Forms – User Registration Forms, Invitation-Based Registrations, Front-end User Profile, Login Form & Content Restriction Social Sites Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.9. 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 Genetech Solutions' Pie Register - Social Sites Login WordPress plugin arises from improper authentication (CWE-287). It occurs because the plugin does not adequately verify the identity of users returned by social login tokens, enabling attackers to bypass authentication.

This affects all versions up to 1.7.9. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.1 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), reflecting network attack vector, high attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No patch or official remediation guidance is currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication controls and log in as any existing user, including administrators, potentially leading to full site compromise. This impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected WordPress site. The vulnerability is rated high severity with a CVSS score of 8.1. No known exploits have been reported in the wild at this time.
