## What is CVE-2024-7503?

CVE-2024-7503 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in WPWeb WooCommerce - Social Login, published on 10 Aug 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The WooCommerce - Social Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in versions up to, and including, 2.7.5. This is due to the use of loose comparison of the activation code in the 'woo_slg_confirm_email_user' function. 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 userID. This requires the email module to be enabled.

Weakness: CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality), CWE-288 (Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel)
