Account takeover via unbound OAuth email identity
Published Nov 5, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Authentication bypass in Softaculous Loginizer products 1.9.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to access existing WordPress accounts. The social-login callback trusts the email in a WordPress.com OAuth profile to select a local user without binding the returned identity to that account. An attacker needs the victim's email address and succeeds only when that user lacks an account with the token-returning service, granting the victim's WordPress role.
