Vulnerability Overview

The Social Share, Social Login and Social Comments plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on the 'the_champ_user_auth' AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 7.10.6. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any user, assuming they know their email address.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 7.11, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-288 (Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel) The product requires authentication, but the product has an alternate path or channel that does not require authentication.
