| Exploitation Conditions | The vulnerability requires the Super Socializer plugin to be installed and active on a WordPress site with social login functionality enabled - a non-default WordPress state, since the plugin must be explicitly installed and configured. The CVSS vector PR:N confirms the attacker requires no account or privileges on the target site. UI:R indicates a victim must perform an action (e.g., clicking a crafted link or visiting an attacker-controlled page that initiates the social login redirect), limiting fully automated exploitation. The attack is network-accessible (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L), meaning no special network position or race condition is required once victim interaction is obtained. Exploitation is limited to sites where social login is actively configured and in use; WordPress installations with the plugin installed but social login not configured or not exposed to end users have reduced exposure. Specific social network provider configurations (Facebook, Google, Twitter OAuth credentials) that trigger the vulnerable code path are not confirmed from available data. |
| Impact | The CVSS base score of 8.8 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H reflects a high-severity, remotely exploitable flaw requiring no attacker privileges and only user interaction. The three High impact metrics (C/I/A) indicate that successful exploitation results in full compromise of the affected WordPress account, potentially including administrator-level access if an admin account is targeted. The UI:R constraint is a meaningful practical limiter - exploitation is not fully automated and requires a victim to perform some action (e.g., clicking a crafted social login link), reducing automatable mass-exploitation risk compared to UI:N vulnerabilities. No EPSS score was provided in the input data, so probability of near-term exploitation cannot be quantified numerically. No CISA KEV listing is present, indicating no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation at time of analysis. No public proof-of-concept was identified in the provided data. The Patchstack report tag of 'Information Disclosure' alongside 'Super Socializer' suggests the flaw may also leak user data as a precursor or side-effect of authentication bypass. Real-world priority is moderate-to-high for any WordPress site using this plugin with social login enabled, primarily because the attack complexity is low once a victim interaction is obtained. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker targeting a WordPress site running Super Socializer ≤ 7.14.5 crafts a malicious social login URL or callback request that supplies an arbitrary user identifier (such as an email address or social network user ID) without a valid OAuth token. The attacker social-engineers or phishes a victim into clicking the crafted link, triggering the plugin's broken authentication handler. The plugin fails to verify the authentication token and logs the victim's browser session in as the targeted WordPress account, granting the attacker full access to that account's capabilities - including administrative functions if an administrator account is targeted. No public proof-of-concept has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 06, 2026
Super Socializer plugin for WordPress (versions ≤ 7.14.5) contains a broken authentication vulnerability (CWE-288) that permits unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass the social login authentication mechanism and gain unauthorized access to WordPress user accounts. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R) indicates low-complexity network exploitation requiring victim interaction, consistent with a social login callback or token-verification bypass where a victim must initiate or interact with the login flow. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis, though the high CVSS score (8.8) and full C/I/A impact reflect the potential for complete account takeover.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to update the Super Socializer plugin to a version beyond 7.14.5 once a patched release is published by the vendor; no specific fixed version number was confirmed in the available input data (see confidence notes). Administrators should monitor the WordPress plugin repository and the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/super-socializer/vulnerability/wordpress-super-socializer-plugin-7-14-5-broken-authentication-vulnerability for patch availability. As an interim compensating control, disable the social login feature within the plugin settings to remove the vulnerable authentication path - this eliminates the attack surface at the cost of social login functionality for site users. If disabling social login is not operationally feasible, consider temporarily deactivating the plugin entirely via the WordPress admin panel until a patch is available. Restricting access to the plugin's callback or authentication endpoints via WAF rules targeting the plugin's known URL paths is a partial mitigation but may not cover all exploit variants. Enforce strong, unique passwords and multi-factor authentication on all WordPress admin accounts to limit the blast radius if user-level authentication bypass is achieved.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Super Socializer (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:rajat_varlani:super_socializer:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a WordPress plugin that implements social login and social sharing, allowing site visitors to authenticate via third-party identity providers such as Facebook, Google, and Twitter. CWE-288 (Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel) indicates the plugin exposes an alternative code path - typically a social login callback endpoint or token-verification handler - that can be reached or manipulated without completing the intended authentication handshake. In WordPress social login plugins, this class of flaw commonly manifests as server-side acceptance of attacker-supplied user identifiers (e.g., social network user ID or email) without cryptographically verifying the accompanying OAuth token or nonce, allowing an attacker to impersonate any registered user whose identifier is known or guessable. The UI:R flag in the CVSS vector suggests the exploit path may require a victim to initiate or interact with the social login flow, consistent with a redirect-manipulation or CSRF-assisted variant.

DescriptionCVE.org
Unauthenticated Broken Authentication in Super Socializer <= 7.14.5 versions.
Executive ViewAI
The Super Socializer WordPress plugin versions 7.14.5 and earlier contain a broken authentication vulnerability (CVE-2026-65542) that allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass social login protections and gain complete access to WordPress user accounts. Organizations running this plugin on affected versions face immediate risk of unauthorized account takeover, compromised user data, and potential regulatory compliance violations. Remediation is urgent as this affects every WordPress deployment using Super Socializer for social authentication.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: disable social login functionality in Super Socializer if operationally acceptable; require multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all WordPress accounts to reduce account takeover impact; implement detailed login audit logging and alerting for suspicious authentication activity; restrict social login access to trusted IP ranges or VPN if applicable; subscribe to vendor security notices for patch notification; evaluate alternative WordPress social authentication plugins with proven security track records.
