Unauthenticated Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in Heateor Social Login <= 1.1.39 versions.
AnalysisAI
Cross-Site Request Forgery in the Heateor Social Login WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 1.1.39) lets an unauthenticated remote attacker forge state-changing requests that are executed with a logged-in victim's privileges once the victim is lured into interacting with a malicious page. The CVSS 3.1 score is 8.1 with High confidentiality and integrity impact, reflecting potential account or configuration manipulation, though exploitation is gated on user interaction (UI:R). There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is the Heateor Social Login plugin for WordPress (CPE cpe:2.3:a:heateor_support:heateor_social_login), which adds third-party social/OAuth-style authentication and account-linking to WordPress sites. The root cause is CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery): one or more of the plugin's state-changing actions do not validate a per-request anti-CSRF nonce or the Origin/Referer header, so the application cannot distinguish a request intentionally issued by the user from one silently triggered by an attacker-controlled page. Because WordPress relies on cookie-based session authentication, the victim's browser automatically attaches valid session cookies to the forged request, causing the server to process it as legitimate.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version was identified in the provided data, so update to the latest available release of Heateor Social Login (any version newer than 1.1.39) as soon as one is published and confirmed via the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/heateor-social-login/. Until a fixed release is verified, apply compensating controls: place the WordPress admin and the plugin's action endpoints behind a WAF/virtual patch that enforces Origin/Referer validation on state-changing POST requests (Patchstack offers such virtual patching), restrict wp-admin access to trusted IP ranges to reduce the chance an authenticated victim is targeted, and advise privileged users not to browse untrusted sites while logged into WordPress. The trade-offs are that IP restrictions can disrupt legitimate remote administrators and WAF rules require tuning to avoid breaking the plugin's normal social-login flows. If the plugin is non-essential, deactivating and removing it eliminates the exposure entirely at the cost of losing social-login functionality.
