What is CVE-2024-9106?

The Wechat Social Login plugin for WordPress contains a vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication due to inadequate verification of the user parameter during the social login process. This flaw enables attackers to potentially log in as any existing user, including administrators, provided they know the user ID. The exploit is viable when the app secret is either not set or contains a default empty value, amplifying the risk of unauthorized access to user accounts.
