Unauthenticated account takeover via unverified Disqus email
Published Nov 23, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Authentication bypass in OneAll Social Login 5.9.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to take over WordPress accounts via Disqus OAuth. The Disqus callback trusts the email returned with a social-login token to select an existing WordPress user without verifying that the returned identity owns that address. An attacker needs a target account email that is not already linked to a Disqus identity; successful exploitation creates a session with that account's privileges.
