ration Forms, Invitation-Based Registrations, Front-end User Profile, Login Form & Content Restriction Social Sites Login - Authentication Bypass (CVE-2024-11293)

CVE-2024-11293

The Registration Forms – User Registration Forms, Invitation-Based Registrations, Front-end User Profile, Login Form & Content Restriction Social Sites Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.9. This is due to insufficient verification on the user being returned by the social login token.

What to do about this

Patch immediately Serious, and reachable without meaningful privilege.

Fix it

Update ration Forms, Invitation-Based Registrations, Front-end User Profile, Login Form & Content Restriction Social Sites Login to the latest available version.

Where the vendor has not published a fix yet, disable the plugin until they do.

Cannot update today? Administrator multi-factor authentication in Hack Halt Pro blocks this class of attack before WordPress processes the request.

Require a second factor for every administrator account. This is the single highest-value control against credential stuffing and reused passwords, because a valid password alone stops being enough.
