Unauthenticated Attackers Can Bypass Authentication and Access Existing User Accounts

CVE-2024-4544

What is CVE-2024-4544?

A vulnerability exists in the Pie Register - Social Sites Login plugin for WordPress, where an authentication bypass issue in versions up to and including 1.7.7 enables unauthenticated users to log into the site as any existing user, including administrators. This is due to inadequate verification during the social login process, allowing attackers who have access to valid email accounts to exploit the flaw. It is crucial for users of the affected plugin to update to the latest version to mitigate this risk.
