CVE-2025-7444Network attack vector

Account takeover via unverified social login user

Published Jul 18, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Authentication bypass in LoginPress Pro 5.0.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to take over WordPress accounts through social login. The WordPress.com OAuth handler accepts the user returned from a social login token without sufficiently verifying that the returned identity belongs to the token holder. Exploitation requires the target email address and no existing WordPress.com-linked account for that user, but it can grant administrator access.
