Descriptions

Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key vulnerability in Meetup allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects Meetup: from n/a through 0.1.

The Meetup plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 0.1. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying a user's identity prior to authenticating them via the facebook_register() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any user, granted they know their email address.

WordPress Meetup plugin versions 0.1 and below suffer from an authentication bypass vulnerability.
