CVE-2019-25763
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedWordPress Ultimate Addons for Beaver Builder 1.2.4.1 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows attackers to gain unauthorized access by exploiting the social media login form functionality. Attackers can submit a POST request to the admin-ajax.php endpoint with the uabb-lf-google-submit action, a valid administrator email address, and a valid nonce to obtain session cookies and authenticate as that user.
