CVE-2023-2704

CVSS v3.1

9.8

Critical

VectorAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions BP Social Connect plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.5
Description The issue is due to insufficient verification on the user being supplied during a Facebook 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.
Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.5, update to a version that includes the necessary verification to prevent authentication bypass. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Facebook login feature through the plugin until a patch is available.
