MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The attacker must have a WordPress account with at least Contributor-level privileges (PR:L). The victim must be an administrator or other user who views the page containing the injected payload (UI:R). The attack requires the social login plugin to be active and configured to display user-provided data on admin pages. No special network access is needed; the attack is remote and low complexity. |
| Impact | CVSS 6.5 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L indicates network-based exploitation requiring contributor privileges and user interaction. No CISA KEV entry, no EPSS score, and no public POC are available in the provided data. The SSVC decision framework would rate exploitation status as 'none' given no evidence of active exploits, and technical impact is low across all CIA metrics. This is a moderate-priority issue: patching should be scheduled during regular maintenance, but no emergency action is warranted. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A contributor with a valid account crafts a malicious JavaScript payload in a social profile field (e.g., display name). When an administrator visits the plugin's settings or user profile page, the payload executes, stealing the admin's session cookie. The attacker then uses the stolen cookie to impersonate the admin and perform sensitive actions. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 27, 2026
Cross-site scripting (XSS) in WordPress Social Login and Register plugin version 7.8.0 and earlier allows contributor-level attackers to inject arbitrary scripts. An administrator visiting a compromised page could have their session hijacked or be redirected to malicious sites, leading to data exposure or further compromise. No public exploit or active exploitation is confirmed at this time.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to the latest patched version of the plugin (7.8.1 or later) as released by miniOrange. The official advisory is available at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/miniorange-login-openid/vulnerability/wordpress-wordpress-social-login-and-register-plugin-7-8-0-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability. As a workaround, limit contributor-level user accounts and enforce content review by administrators before viewing untrusted content. Disable the social login feature if not essential, though this may break functionality.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability (CWE-79) in a WordPress plugin that provides social login and registration functionality. The plugin likely fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input (e.g., profile fields from social login providers) before outputting it in pages accessible to administrators. The CPE string indicates all versions up to 7.8.0 are affected. The root cause is insufficient output encoding in the plugin's code, allowing attacker-controlled data to be interpreted as HTML/JavaScript in the victim's browser.
