Elated Membership <= 1.2 - Authentication Bypass via Social Login
Strategic Overview
<= 1.2CVE-2025-13613Vulnerability Overview
The Elated Membership plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.2. This is due to the plugin not properly logging in a user with the data that was previously verified through the 'eltdf_membership_check_facebook_user' and the 'eltdf_membership_login_user_from_social_network' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as administrative users, as long as they have an existing account on the site which can easily be created by default through the temp user functionality, and access to the administrative user's email.
Technical Analysis
REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.3, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-289 (Authentication Bypass by Alternate Name) The product performs authentication based on the name of a resource being accessed, or the name of the actor performing the access, but it does not properly check all possible names for that resource or actor.
