CVE-2024-7781: CWE-288 Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel in artbees Jupiter X Core
The Jupiter X Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 4.7.5. This is due to improper authentication via the Social Login widget. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as the first user to have logged in with a social media account, including administrator accounts.

The vulnerability was partially patched in version 4.7.5, and fully patched in version 4.7.8.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-7781 is an authentication bypass vulnerability (CWE-288) in the Jupiter X Core WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 4.7.5. The issue arises from improper authentication handling in the Social Login widget, enabling unauthenticated attackers to impersonate the first user who logged in via social media, including admin accounts. The vulnerability persists even if the Social Login element is disabled after prior use. Partial fixes were applied in version 4.7.5, and a complete fix was released in version 4.7.8.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to gain full access to affected WordPress sites as the first social login user, potentially an administrator. This leads to complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise of the site. The CVSS 3.1 score is 8.1 (High), reflecting network attack vector, high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and no privileges or user interaction required.
Mitigation Recommendations
A full official fix is available in Jupiter X Core version 4.7.8. Users should upgrade to version 4.7.8 or later to fully remediate this vulnerability. Partial mitigation in version 4.7.5 is insufficient. Until upgrading, consider disabling or removing the Social Login widget if possible, but note that the vulnerability can still be exploited if the widget was previously enabled and used. Patch status is confirmed by vendor advisories indicating the fix in 4.7.8.
