Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Comments – wpDiscuz plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 7.6.24

Description The issue is due to insufficient verification on the user being returned by the social login token, making 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 and the user does not have an already-existing account for the service returning the token.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 7.6.24, update to a version higher than 7.6.24 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to social login features until a patch is available. Avoid using social login tokens for authentication until the issue is resolved.
