The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires two concrete, named preconditions that must both be true on the target: the plugin's optional 'Profile Completion' email-verification feature must be enabled, and social login must be configured. The attacker needs no authentication (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N), but must be able to receive a one-time code at an email address they control and then replay it against the victim's email address. Limiting factors: sites running the plugin with default settings where Profile Completion is not turned on are not exploitable, and the AC:H rating reflects the dependency on this specific non-default configuration; the attacker must also know or guess the victim's email address (e.g., a known admin address).

Impact

This is a genuine authentication-bypass leading to full administrator account takeover (C:H/I:H/A:H), which drives the 8.1 CVSS. However, several signals temper urgency: the CVSS vector marks AC:H, reflecting that exploitation requires two specific non-default preconditions (the Profile Completion feature enabled AND social login configured), and EPSS is only 0.14% (4th percentile), indicating low predicted mass-exploitation. There is no CISA KEV listing, so despite POC availability there is no confirmed active exploitation - do not conflate the two. The realistic verdict: a high-impact, patch-now issue for the subset of sites running this exact configuration, but not a broad internet-wide emergency. The main uncertainty is deployment reach - the specific configuration requirement means many installs of the plugin may not be exploitable, so exposure should be validated per-site rather than assumed from the plugin's presence alone.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with no account visits a WordPress site running the vulnerable plugin with Profile Completion enabled, initiates the email-verification flow for an attacker-controlled address, and receives a valid one-time code. Because the code is not bound to that email, the attacker replays it while supplying the site administrator's email address and is issued an authenticated admin session. Publicly available exploit code (WPScan) lowers the practical bar, though the AC:H rating reflects the required non-default feature configuration.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 30, 2026

Account takeover in the miniOrange Social Login and Register (Discord, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn) WordPress plugin before 7.8.0 lets unauthenticated attackers hijack any account, including administrators. The optional email-verification one-time code is not bound to the account it was issued for, so an attacker requests a code for an email they control and replays it against a victim's email to obtain a valid session. Publicly available exploit code exists (WPScan) and a vendor patch is available, though EPSS remains low at 0.14%.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade the miniOrange Social Login and Register plugin to version 7.8.0 or later, which binds the one-time code to the issuing account. If immediate patching is not possible, the most direct compensating control is to disable the Profile Completion email-verification feature, which removes the vulnerable code path (trade-off: users completing social registration will no longer be prompted to verify/complete their email profile); alternatively, temporarily disabling social login entirely also eliminates the attack surface but breaks all federated login flows. As a defensive measure, audit for recently created or elevated administrator accounts and force session/password resets for privileged users, since successful exploitation yields a valid session rather than a credential change. Reference the WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/7ecf657b-b059-4420-8c36-f38d58960d2b/ for confirmation of the fixed version.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability sits in the plugin's 'Profile Completion' email-verification workflow, which issues a one-time code (OTC) during social-login-driven registration to confirm a user's email address. Classed as CWE-287 (Improper Authentication), the root cause is a missing binding between the issued code and the specific account/email it was generated for - the server validates that a submitted code is valid but not that it was issued for the email being verified. This turns a verification step into an authentication oracle. The affected component is the WordPress plugin identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:unknown:miniorange_social_login_and_register_(discord,_google,_twitter,_linkedin), a third-party OAuth/social-login integration layer that federates identities from Google, Discord, Twitter, and LinkedIn into WordPress user sessions.

DescriptionCVE.org

The miniOrange Social Login and Register (Discord, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn) WordPress plugin before 7.8.0 does not bind the one-time code used by its optional email-verification (Profile Completion) feature to the account it was issued for, allowing unauthenticated attackers to obtain a valid session for any account, including administrators, by requesting a code for an email address they control and replaying it against the victim's email address. Exploitation requires the Profile Completion feature to be enabled and social login to be configured.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The miniOrange Social Login WordPress plugin (versions before 7.8.0) contains a critical authentication bypass enabling account takeover of any user account, including administrators, without valid credentials. Organizations deploying this plugin face immediate risk of administrative compromise and complete user database exposure. Publicly available exploit code exists, making this an urgent remediation priority.
