26th percentile - higher than 26% of all known CVEs

Summary

The login-social WordPress plugin through version 1.0.4 does not validate password-reset requests against a reset key or the requester's identity, and it issues authentication sessions from unverified third-party sign-in data. This allows unauthenticated attackers to reset any user's password or log in as any existing account, including administrators, and take over the site.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of complete site takeover by an unauthenticated attacker who can gain administrative access.

Recommendation

Immediately disable or update the login-social plugin to a version above 1.0.4, and check for any unauthorized access.
