Unauthenticated account takeover via null OAuth response
Published Dec 12, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Authentication bypass in tarecord Sign In With Google 1.8.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to access the first linked account. The authenticate_user function accepts null access-token and user-information values, then resolves the request to the first user previously linked through Google OAuth. No credentials or user interaction are required; the acquired WordPress privileges equal those of that linked account, which can be an administrator.
