Vulnerability Overview

The WooCommerce - Social Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthenticated privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.3. This is due to a lack of brute force controls on a weak one-time password. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to brute force the one-time password for any user, except an Administrator, if they know the email of user.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.7.4, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-305 (Authentication Bypass by Primary Weakness) The authentication algorithm is sound, but the implemented mechanism can be bypassed as the result of a separate weakness that is primary to the authentication error.
