Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
The LoginPress Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in versions up to and including 6.2.3 via the Spotify Social Login addon. This is due to the loginpress_on_spotify_login() function trusting the unverified 'email' field returned by Spotify's /v1/me endpoint and using it directly with get_user_by('email', $profile['email']) to identify and log in an existing WordPress account, without confirming that the Spotify user actually owns the email address (Spotify documents that the profile email is unverified) and without requiring the user to prove ownership of the matching WordPress account. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing WordPress user, including Administrators, by registering a Spotify account using the targeted user's email address and authenticating via the Spotify provider.
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in the LoginPress Pro WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 6.2.3) lets unauthenticated attackers log in as any existing user - including Administrators - when the Spotify Social Login addon is enabled. The flaw stems from the plugin trusting the unverified email returned by Spotify's /v1/me endpoint to match and authenticate a WordPress account, so an attacker who registers a Spotify account with a victim's email gains that victim's session. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; CVSS is 8.1 with attack complexity rated High due to the required addon configuration.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is the Spotify Social Login addon of LoginPress Pro, a commercial extension of the widely used LoginPress WordPress login-customization plugin. The vulnerable code path is loginpress_on_spotify_login(), which consumes the OAuth profile returned by Spotify's Web API /v1/me endpoint and passes the profile's 'email' field directly into WordPress's get_user_by('email', $profile['email']) to locate and log in a matching account. This is a textbook CWE-287 (Improper Authentication): Spotify explicitly documents that the profile email is not verified as owned by the account holder, so using it as an identity assertion conflates 'a Spotify account claims this email' with 'this person controls this email/WordPress account.' The plugin performs no email-ownership confirmation and never requires the user to prove control of the matching WordPress account, collapsing federated login into an identity-spoofing primitive.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version was identified in the provided data; the description confirms only that versions up to and including 6.2.3 are vulnerable, so administrators should monitor https://loginpress.pro/ and the Wordfence advisory (https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/bef61f05-a2dc-4f61-a5da-7161a9912196?source=cve) for a fixed release and upgrade to it as soon as available. As an immediate compensating control, disable the Spotify Social Login addon, which fully removes the vulnerable code path at the cost of losing Spotify-based sign-in for legitimate users. If Spotify login must remain enabled, restrict its use to accounts with no email overlap with privileged WordPress users and enforce multi-factor authentication on Administrator accounts so a bypassed password step still cannot yield a full session; note MFA only helps if the social-login flow is itself gated by it. Auditing existing user sessions and administrator accounts for unexpected logins is also advisable given the account-takeover impact.
