Description

The JupiterX Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to insufficient validation in versions up to, and including, 3.3.8 due to insufficient controls on the facebook_log_user_in() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to stage a site takeover. Please note that this affects both the free and premium version of the plugin.
