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

Exploitation Conditions

The prerequisite is simply that the target WordPress site has the Social Login & Sharing buttons with Analytics By SoClever plugin (≤1.2.0) installed and active, exposing its public login handler. Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), there are no special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation works against the default configuration, and in the default case the session obtained is that of the site's original administrator account with no need to know any usernames or IDs. Limiting factors are narrow: exploitation is bounded only by whether the plugin is installed and network-reachable; there is no required authentication, no user interaction, and no non-default setting needed. Targeting a non-default (non-original-admin) account may require knowing that account exists, but administrator takeover in the common case does not.

Impact

The signals partially conflict and should be read together. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, C:H/I:H/A:H) describes the worst case: network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated, no user interaction, leading to full admin compromise - consistent with the description that a default install yields the original administrator's session. Against that, EPSS is only 0.19% (9th percentile), the CVE is NOT on CISA KEV, and no public PoC is referenced, so there is currently no evidence of active or automated exploitation. The realistic read: this is a genuinely high-priority patch/removal item because exploitation is trivial and impact is total once a working request is known, but real-world exploitation today appears limited by the plugin's likely small install base and the absence of published exploit code. EPSS reflects observed activity, not difficulty - do not let the low score downgrade urgency for sites that actually run this plugin. Note the low EPSS despite a critical vector is explained by prevalence, not by any mitigating technical factor.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who identifies a WordPress site running this plugin sends a single crafted request to the unauthenticated login handler; the handler issues a valid session cookie for the site's original administrator account without any credentials. The attacker then browses to wp-admin as a full administrator and installs a malicious plugin or PHP webshell to persist. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, but the attack requires no authentication, no user interaction, and low complexity.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 23, 2026

Full authentication bypass in the Social Login & Sharing buttons with Analytics By SoClever WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 1.2.0) lets a remote unauthenticated attacker mint a valid session for any existing user, including administrators. Because one publicly reachable login handler performs no authentication, authorization, or nonce validation, an attacker can take over the site's original admin account in the default configuration without knowing any credentials. EPSS is low (0.19%, 9th percentile) and no public exploit is identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 9.8 rating reflects trivial, high-impact site takeover.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data; the vulnerability is listed as affecting all versions through 1.2.0 with no confirmed fixed release. The safest immediate action is to deactivate and remove the plugin until the vendor publishes a fixed version, since the vulnerable handler is reachable by design and cannot be trusted while the plugin is active. If removal is not acceptable, apply compensating controls: block or restrict access to the plugin's login handler endpoint (for example the specific admin-ajax action or REST route it registers) at a WAF or web-server level, and monitor for unexpected authenticated sessions or new admin activity - note this may break legitimate social-login functionality for real users. Rotate credentials and invalidate all active sessions (force re-authentication) if you suspect the plugin has been exposed publicly, since a valid admin session may already have been minted. Track the WPScan advisory (https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/01c78c78-3915-44da-824a-f68074985c75/) for a patched version and upgrade to it as soon as it is released.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is a WordPress plugin (PHP) that adds social login and sharing functionality. Social login flows typically create or resume a WordPress session on behalf of a user after an external identity provider confirms them. Here the flaw is CWE-287 (Improper Authentication): one of the plugin's login handlers is registered on a publicly accessible endpoint (e.g., an admin-ajax action or REST/query hook) but never verifies the caller's identity, never checks capabilities, and omits WordPress nonce protection. As a result the handler will establish an authenticated session (via wp_set_auth_cookie / current-user assignment) for an attacker-chosen or defaulted account, effectively treating an unauthenticated request as a completed, trusted login.

DescriptionCVE.org

The Social Login & Sharing buttons with Analytics By SoClever WordPress plugin through 1.2.0 does not perform any authentication, authorisation or nonce checks in one of its publicly accessible login handlers, allowing unauthenticated attackers to obtain a valid session as any existing user, including administrators. In the default case a session as the site's original administrator account is obtained without needing to know any account details at all.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

WordPress administrators using the Social Login & Sharing buttons with Analytics By SoClever plugin (versions ≤1.2.0) face immediate exposure to unauthorized account takeover and complete site compromise. Unauthenticated attackers can seize administrator privileges without valid credentials, enabling theft of sensitive data, installation of malware, or destruction of the site. Urgent action is required as no patch has been released.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Remove or permanently deactivate the vulnerable plugin (most effective interim measure); implement Web Application Firewall rules to block requests to the plugin's authentication endpoints; restrict administrative access to whitelisted IP addresses; enforce multi-factor authentication on all administrator accounts; enable comprehensive audit logging for all authentication attempts and administrative actions; continuously monitor for anomalous session creation and admin account usage patterns.
