WordPress Social Login and Register (Discord, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn) is a software plugin used by developers to add social media login and registration functionality to their WordPress websites. The plugin allows website users to easily sign in to the site using their existing social media accounts, rather than creating a new account. With over 1 million active installations, this plugin has become a popular solution for website owners seeking to streamline their user registration process and offer more convenience to their users.

One of the vulnerabilities detected in this plugin is CVE-2023-2982. This vulnerability is due to insufficient encryption on the user being supplied during a login validated through the plugin. As a result, unauthenticated attackers can easily log in as any existing user on the site if they know the email address associated with that user. This type of vulnerability can lead to major security and privacy breaches, exposing sensitive user data and putting users at risk.

Exploitation of this vulnerability can result in disastrous consequences for website owners. Unauthenticated attackers can hack into the website and access sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and personal data, including email addresses. They can also alter the site's content or shut down the entire website altogether, causing significant financial loss to business owners.
