CVE-2024-11087
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 · uneditedThe miniOrange Social Login and Register (Discord, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn) Pro Addon plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 200.3.9. 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 username and the user does not have an already-existing account for the service returning the token.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe miniOrange Social Login plugin for WordPress fails to properly validate that the social login token corresponds to the intended user account. Attackers can craft authentication requests using valid usernames, bypassing the social login verification to authenticate as any existing user (including administrators) if the target user hasn't yet linked that social service to their WordPress account.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed plugin versionNavigate to WordPress admin dashboard, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins, locate 'miniOrange Social Login' and note the version number displayed. Alternatively, inspect the plugin's main PHP file (typically miniorange_login_openid.php in wp-content/plugins/) and look for the 'Version' header in the file comments.Affected if The displayed version number is 200.3.9 or lower.
-
Verify social login providers are configuredAccess the plugin settings page in WordPress admin (usually under Users > Social Login or a dedicated miniOrange settings menu). Look for configured social providers such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, or other OAuth/OpenID providers.Affected if At least one social login provider is enabled and configured on the site.
-
Confirm social login is active on login pagesInspect your WordPress login page (wp-login.php) or any frontend login forms. Look for social login buttons/widgets provided by the miniOrange plugin. Check the plugin settings to confirm the social login form is set to display on the login page.Affected if Social login buttons or forms are present and active on the site's login page.
-
Assess user linking statusReview user accounts in WordPress admin (Users > All Users). For each user account, check if a social account has been linked by inspecting user profile fields or the plugin's user meta data. Alternatively, query the WordPress usermeta table for records containing 'mo_openid' or social provider identifiers.Affected if Users exist who have NOT linked any social service to their WordPress account - these accounts are vulnerable to takeover.
You are affected if the miniOrange Social Login plugin version is 200.3.9 or lower, social login providers are enabled, and any users (especially administrators) have not yet linked their social accounts to their WordPress profiles.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpdate the miniOrange Social Login and Register Pro Addon to the latest version beyond 200.3.9. If immediate update is not possible, temporarily disable the social login functionality and monitor for unauthorized administrative access.
Latest version available from WordPress plugin repository (version > 200.3.9)
- Check the WordPress admin dashboard for plugin updates under Dashboard > Updates
- Update the miniOrange Social Login and Register plugin to the latest available version
- After updating, verify that social login functionality continues to work correctly
- Ensure any users who may have been affected are reviewed and their accounts are secure
- Consider enabling two-factor authentication for administrative accounts as an additional security measure
