Social Share, Social Login and Social Comments Plugin – Super Socializer <= 7.13.68 — Authentication Bypass via Disqus OAuth provider

Am I affected?

• Check your version: in wp-admin go to Plugins → Installed Plugins and read the version under Social Share, Social Login and Social Comments Plugin – Super Socializer.
• No admin access? Run a passive check of your site. It reads public files only.
• No account is needed to exploit this. Treat any exposed site on an affected version as at risk.

What to do

1. Update to version 7.14, or a newer patched version
2. Rotate administrator passwords and application secrets if the site ran a vulnerable version while publicly reachable.
3. Watch Social Share, Social Login and Social Comments Plugin – Super Socializer to get an email when the next vulnerability is published.

Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to wesley (wcraft).

The Social Share, Social Login and Social Comments Plugin – Super Socializer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 7.13.68. 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, if they have access to the email and the user does not have an already-existing account for the service returning the token. An attacker cannot authenticate as an administrator by default, but these accounts are also at risk if authentication for administrators has explicitly been allowed via the social login. The vulnerability was partially patched in version 7.13.68.
