Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-11087 is an authentication bypass vulnerability affecting the miniOrange Social Login and Register (Discord, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn) Pro Addon plugin for WordPress in all versions up to and including 200.3.9. The issue stems from insufficient verification of the user returned by the social login token, mapped to CWE-287 (Improper Authentication). It has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.1 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H), indicating high severity with network accessibility but high attack complexity.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability to log in as any existing user on the site, including administrators, provided they know the target username and the user lacks an existing account linked to the social service providing the token. No privileges are required, and successful exploitation grants full access to the victim's account privileges, potentially enabling site takeover.
