WordPress Pie Register <= 3.7.1.4 - Authentication Bypass

id: CVE-2025-34077

info:
  name: WordPress Pie Register <= 3.7.1.4 - Authentication Bypass
  author: kylew1004
  severity: critical
  description: |
    An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in the WordPress Pie Register plugin ≤ 3.7.1.4 that allows unauthenticated attackers to impersonate arbitrary users by submitting a crafted POST request to the login endpoint. By setting social_site=true and manipulating the user_id_social_site parameter, an attacker can generate a valid WordPress session cookie for any user ID, including administrators.Once authenticated, the attacker may exploit plugin upload functionality to install a malicious plugin containing arbitrary PHP code, resulting in remote code execution on the underlying server.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can impersonate any user including administrators by manipulating the user_id_social_site parameter, potentially leading to complete site takeover through malicious plugin uploads.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade WordPress Pie Register plugin to version 3.7.2.0 or later that properly validates social login authentication.
