Contributor Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in WordPress Social Login and Register <= 7.8.0 versions.
AnalysisAI
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.
Technical ContextAI
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.
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.
