NVD description

The Jupiter X Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass via the Twitter/X Social Login handler in all versions up to and including 4.61.0. The vulnerability exists within the verify_twitter_callback function because after exchanging the visitor's oauth_verifier for their access token, the handler never calls setOauthToken() to reassign the returned credentials to the TwitterOAuth client, causing the subsequent account/verify_credentials API call to remain signed with the site operator's stored Access Token and Access Token Secret rather than the authenticating visitor's token. This causes the X API to return the profile of the X application owner instead of the signing-in visitor, and the plugin then resolves and authenticates a WordPress account solely by matching that owner's email address via wp_set_auth_cookie(), allowing unauthenticated attackers to gain authenticated access as the WordPress user whose email corresponds to the X app owner, who is typically the site administrator.

    CVE-2026-106013 좀 황당한 건인데, WordPress 플러그인에서 인증 없이 관리자 계정을 탈취할 수 있는 취약점이 공개됐습니다. 10월 28일 공개됐고, CVSS 점수는 9.8입니다. Jupiter X Core 플러그인의 X(Twitter) 소셜 로그인 시에 OAuth 토큰을 잘못 처리하는 게 원인입니다. X 계정으로 소셜 로그인하면, 해당 사용자 계정이 아니라 해당 X앱 소유자의 이메일에 해당하는 계정으로 인증됩니다. 경우에 따라서는 관리자 계정도 탈취할 수 있습니다. 수정 버전은 Jupiter X Core 4.62.0입니다. 대체 뭐하는 거임
