CVE-2024-9106: CWE-288 Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel in xunhuweb Wechat Social login 微信QQ钉钉登录插件
The Wechat Social login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in versions up to, and including, 1.3.0. This is due to insufficient verification on the user being supplied during the social login. 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 user id. This is only exploitable if the app secret is not set, so it has a default empty value.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-9106 is an authentication bypass vulnerability (CWE-288) in the Wechat Social login plugin for WordPress by xunhuweb. The issue arises because the plugin does not properly verify the user identity during social login if the app secret configuration is missing or empty. This allows attackers to impersonate any user by supplying a valid user ID, bypassing authentication controls. The vulnerability affects versions up to and including 1.3.0 and has a critical CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and full impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation enables unauthenticated attackers to log in as any user on the WordPress site, including administrators, leading to full compromise of the site’s confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This could result in unauthorized access, data theft, site defacement, or complete control over the affected WordPress installation.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, ensure the app secret is properly set to a non-empty value to prevent exploitation. Avoid using default or empty app secret configurations in the plugin settings.
