Overview

The BP Social Connect plugin for WordPress (versions up to and including 1.5) contains an authentication bypass vulnerability (CVE-2023-2704) discovered and disclosed on May 18, 2023. The vulnerability stems from insufficient verification of user information during Facebook login processes (NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified with a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 9.8 (Critical) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. It is categorized under CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function). The issue arises from inadequate verification of user credentials during the Facebook login process through the plugin (Wordfence).

Impact

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing user on the site, including administrators, provided they have access to the user's email address. This could lead to complete site compromise through unauthorized administrative access (NVD).

Mitigation and workarounds

A patch has been released to address this vulnerability. Site administrators are strongly advised to update their BP Social Connect plugin to a version newer than 1.5 (WordPress Patch).
