Nextend Social Login And Register

The Nextend Social Login and Register plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.21. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the 'unlinkUser' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to unlink the user's social login via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

The Nextend Social Login and Register plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to a self-based Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘error_description’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.12 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers, with access to a subscriber-level account, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. NOTE: This vulnerability can be successfully exploited on a vulnerable WordPress instance against an OAuth pre-authenticated higher-level user (e.g., administrator) by leveraging a cross-site request forgery in conjunction with a certain social engineering technique to achieve a critical impact scenario (cross-site scripting to administrator-level account creation). However, successful exploitation requires "Debug mode" to be enabled in the plugin's "Global Settings".
