Descriptions

The Social Connect plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in versions up to, and including, 1.2. This is due to insufficient verification on the OpenID server being supplied during the social login through the plugin. 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.

El complemento Social Connect para WordPress es vulnerable a la omisión de autenticación en versiones hasta la 1.2 incluida. Esto se debe a una verificación insuficiente en el servidor OpenID que se proporciona durante el inicio de sesión social a través del complemento. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados inicien sesión como cualquier usuario existente en el sitio, como un administrador, si tienen acceso al correo electrónico.
