MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Defense Evasion, Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The plugin must be installed and active with its social-login / Profile Completion flow reachable, and the attack targets accounts on installs where the plugin's customer_key option is static or empty (empty on installations never registered with miniOrange, which maximizes crackability). The concrete prerequisites are: the ability to reach the plugin's OTP endpoints and send a POST with an arbitrary 'email_field' value, and knowledge of a target account's email address (an admin address for full takeover). No authentication, no user interaction, and no OAuth provider credentials are required - the flaw is that the provider-verified identity is never enforced. Limiting factors: the attacker must know or guess a valid target email; installs with a strong non-empty customer_key raise the offline cracking cost (though the OTP keyspace remains small); and the vulnerable endpoints must not be blocked by a WAF or the plugin deactivated. |
| Impact | All independent signals point to genuine high priority. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, C:H/I:H/A:H) describes a remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity attack with total impact, and the technical description supports every metric: the offline OTP crack removes any meaningful complexity or interaction barrier, so AC:L is well justified rather than optimistic. The outcome is full administrator takeover, which on WordPress equals complete site compromise (plugin/theme editor, PHP execution). EPSS was not provided, and the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV, so there is no confirmed active exploitation - this should be treated as pre-exploitation exposure, not an in-the-wild campaign. No public PoC was identified, but the advisory spells out the entire chain, meaning weaponization is low-effort; the practical window between disclosure and exploitation for such plugins is typically short. There is no conflict among the signals; the main missing datum is exploitation-probability (EPSS) and confirmation of the exact fixed version. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker initiates the plugin's social-login Profile Completion flow and submits 'email_field' set to a known administrator address on the target site. The server emails an OTP to that admin and, in the same response, returns the SHA-512(customer_key||otp) transaction hash; the attacker brute-forces the ~99,000-value OTP offline in under a second (customer_key is static or empty), then submits the recovered OTP to mo_openid_social_login_validate_otp() and is logged in as the administrator. No PoC is publicly identified, but the network-facing, low-complexity vector (AV:N/AC:L) makes this straightforward to script. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 10, 2026
Authentication bypass in the miniOrange Social Login and Register (Discord, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn) WordPress plugin through version 7.7.0 lets unauthenticated attackers seize any account, including administrators. The Profile Completion flow trusts an attacker-supplied 'email_field' POST value without confirming it matches the OAuth provider's verified identity, and the send_otp_token() routine leaks a SHA-512(customer_key||otp) hash to the client where the OTP is one of only 99,000 values and customer_key is a static (often empty) option - so the OTP can be brute-forced offline in under a second. Rated CVSS 9.8; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the full attack primitive is described in the Wordfence advisory.
RemediationAI
Upstream fix available (changeset 3592642); a released patched version above 7.7.0 is referenced by the vendor's SVN commit but the exact tagged release is not independently confirmed in the provided data - update the plugin to the latest available version from the WordPress.org repository and verify it is newer than 7.7.0, consulting the Wordfence advisory (https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/a56b59ce-29c2-4172-b703-a06d7bb28da0) and the changeset (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3592642/) for the fixed version number. If immediate patching is not possible, the highest-value compensating control is to deactivate the miniOrange Social Login plugin entirely, which stops the vulnerable Profile Completion and OTP endpoints but disables social login for users; alternatively, block or restrict access to the plugin's AJAX/login action endpoints (the mo_openid social-login and OTP-validation actions) at a WAF or reverse proxy, accepting that overly broad rules may break legitimate OAuth callbacks. Deploying a virtual patch via a WordPress firewall (e.g. Wordfence) that filters requests supplying attacker-controlled 'email_field' values reduces exposure without removing functionality. After patching, audit administrator and user accounts for unexpected additions or logins and rotate credentials, since exploitation leaves the attacker with a legitimate authenticated session.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is a WordPress social-login plugin (cpe:2.3:a:cyberlord92:miniorange_social_login_and_register...) that federates identity from OAuth providers such as Google, Discord, Twitter and LinkedIn. The root cause is CWE-287 (Improper Authentication): after an OAuth round-trip the Profile Completion handler (mo_openid_prof_comp_funct.php) accepts an arbitrary 'email_field' rather than binding the session to the email asserted by the provider, breaking the trust chain between the OAuth assertion and the local account. Compounding this, send_otp_token() (mo-openid-social-login-functions.php) returns the server-side verification hash SHA-512(customer_key || otp) to the browser. Because the OTP is generated with wp_rand(1000, 99999) - an effective keyspace of roughly 99,000 candidates - and customer_key is a static plugin option that is empty on installs never registered with miniOrange, the leaked hash is trivially reversible offline, defeating the OTP as a second factor and letting mo_openid_social_login_validate_otp() authenticate the attacker as the supplied email's owner.

DescriptionCVE.org
The miniOrange Social Login and Register (Discord, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass leading to account takeover in versions up to and including 7.7.0. This is due to the Profile Completion flow accepting an arbitrary email address via the 'email_field' POST parameter without verifying that the email belongs to the identity returned by the OAuth provider, combined with send_otp_token() returning the SHA-512(customer_key || otp) transaction hash to the client where the OTP space is only 99,000 values (wp_rand(1000, 99999)) and the customer_key is a static option (empty on unregistered installs). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to trigger an OTP email to an arbitrary admin's address, crack the OTP offline from the leaked hash in under a second, and submit the cracked OTP to mo_openid_social_login_validate_otp(), which logs the attacker in as the user whose email was supplied - granting full administrator access.

Executive ViewAI
The miniOrange Social Login WordPress plugin (through version 7.7.0) contains a critical authentication bypass allowing unauthenticated attackers to compromise any user account, including administrators. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; however, organizations using this plugin face immediate risk of account takeover and administrative access compromise. This requires urgent remediation.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Disable miniOrange Social Login plugin until patch released; (2) Implement Web Application Firewall rules to block brute-force attacks against OTP endpoints (attack requires approximately 99,000 attempts per account); (3) Deploy rate-limiting on authentication endpoints (maximum 10 OTP attempts per minute per source IP); (4) If social login required for business continuity, deploy alternative OAuth solution from different vendor.
