Account takeover via unverified social-login email
Published May 24, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Authentication bypass in Pie Register - Social Sites Login (Add on) 1.7.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to impersonate any account. The social-login flow accepts a supplied email address to select an existing WordPress user without sufficiently verifying that the social identity owns that address. Knowledge of a target email is the only reported gate, so an administrator email permits administrator-level access without the account password.
