WordPress Social Login and Register <=7.5.12 - Missing Authorization to Plugin Settings Update

Missing Authorization
CVE CVE-2023-24375
CVSS Medium (6.5)
Publicly Published September 23, 2022
Last Updated January 22, 2024
Researcher István Márton
Description

The WordPress Social Login and Register plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on the mo_sharing_app_value function as well as others that are reachable via AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 7.5.12. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to change plugin settings. Additionally, some AJAX actions were missing nonce checks thus making them vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery. This enables unauthenticated attackers to invoke the corresponding functions, granted they can trick an administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
