AI-Generated

The LoginPress Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to an authentication bypass due to improper handling of unverified OAuth emails, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access to any WordPress account, including those of administrators. This vulnerability arises from the plugin's failure to verify the email's verified status during the Discord OAuth callback process. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize immediate updates to mitigate the risk of account takeovers.

Original NVD Description

The LoginPress Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass via Unverified OAuth Email in all versions up to and including 6.2.3. The vulnerability exists in the loginpress_on_discord_login() Discord OAuth callback handler, which accepts the email field returned by Discord's /users/@me endpoint without ever checking that the profile's verified flag is true, then directly maps that email to a local WordPress account via get_user_by('email', $profile['email']) and issues an authenticated session cookie via wp_set_auth_cookie(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to take over any existing WordPress account — including administrator accounts — by registering a Discord account configured with an unverified email address that matches the target user's registered WordPress email and completing the standard Discord OAuth flow.
