Description
The LoginPress Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.1. This is due to insufficient verification on the user being returned by the social login token. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing user on the site, such as an administrator, if they have access to the email and the user does not have an already-existing account for the service returning the token.

AI Analysis

Impact

LoginPress Pro plugin for WordPress up to version 5.0.1 has an authentication bypass that permits an unauthenticated attacker to log in as an existing user by submitting a WordPress.com OAuth token for that user's email. The flaw stems from insufficient verification of the user returned by the token, enabling attackers who know or can guess the target email to gain full site access, including administrator privileges, thereby compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Affected Systems

LoginPress Pro plugin for WordPress versions 5.0.1 and older.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.8 classifies this vulnerability as critical, although its EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a low probability of exploitation at present. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, so no public, confirmed exploits are known. The attack vector is inferred to be remote, requiring an attacker to supply a WordPress.com OAuth token for a valid email address; once the token is accepted, the attacker can assume the account’s privileges.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade LoginPress Pro to the latest version (5.0.2 or newer) as soon as it becomes available.
  • Temporarily disable WordPress.com OAuth or all social login options until the plugin is patched.
  • Monitor authentication logs for unexpected logins and consider implementing multi‑factor authentication to mitigate exposure.
