Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

Requires timely identification, reporting, and correction of flaws like the authentication bypass in the Bravis User plugin to prevent exploitation.

IA-2 Identification and Authentication (Organizational Users) good match

prevent

Mandates unique identification and authentication of users to mitigate bypass vulnerabilities in WordPress plugins such as improper handling of facebook_ajax_login_callback().

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match

prevent

Enforces approved authorizations for logical access, preventing unauthenticated attackers from logging in as admins via the flawed alternate authentication path.

Why these techniques?

Authentication bypass in public-facing WordPress plugin directly enables remote exploitation for unauthorized admin access.

NVD Description

The Bravis User plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.1. This is due to the plugin not properly logging a user in with the data that was previously verified through the…

facebook_ajax_login_callback(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as administrative users, as long as they have an existing account on the site, and access to the administrative user's email.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2025-5060 is an authentication bypass vulnerability in the Bravis User plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 1.0.1. The flaw occurs because the plugin does not properly log in users with data previously verified through the facebook_ajax_login_callback() function, enabling unauthorized access. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.1 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H) and maps to CWE-288 (Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel). The vulnerability was published on 2025-08-23T07:15:31.953.

Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this issue over the network to log in as administrative users, provided they have an existing account on the target site and access to the administrative user's email. Successful exploitation grants high-impact access to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially allowing attackers to take full control of the site as an administrator.
