WordPress SoClever Plugin Unauthenticated Session Hijacking

The Social Login & Sharing buttons with Analytics By SoClever WordPress plugin through 1.2.0 does not perform any authentication, authorisation or nonce checks in one of its publicly accessible login handlers, allowing unauthenticated attackers to obtain a valid session as any existing user, including administrators. In the default case a session as the site's original administrator account is obtained without needing to know any account details at all.

Casky was already ahead

This CVE exploits attack patterns that Casky's 283matched skills already investigate — long before this vulnerability was disclosed. Claude's reasoning model maps these techniques to MITRE ATT&CK, so practitioners who ran these skills have already seen the threat behaviour in their findings.

Analysis

CVE-2026-77001 represents a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in the Social Login & Sharing buttons with Analytics By SoClever WordPress plugin versions through 1.2.0. The plugin's login handler fails to implement any authentication, authorization, or nonce verification, allowing unauthenticated attackers to establish valid sessions as arbitrary users—including site administrators—without credentials. This vulnerability is particularly severe because it requires no prior knowledge of target accounts and can be exploited immediately upon plugin installation, making it an attractive vector for attackers seeking initial access to WordPress installations. Organizations using this plugin face immediate risk of account takeover, administrative compromise, and complete site control.

Casky's 283 mapped skills detect the attack patterns underlying this vulnerability by analyzing indicators across MITRE ATT&CK techniques TA0004 (Privilege Escalation) and TA0006 (Credential Access). Claude's extended reasoning identifies suspicious patterns including: unauthenticated requests to login handlers that return valid session tokens, missing nonce validation in authentication workflows, and unauthorized privilege elevation to administrator roles without credential submission. Practitioners using Casky would observe findings highlighting the absence of authentication checks in public-facing endpoints, detection of session establishment without proper authorization gates, and patterns consistent with CWE-287 (Improper Authentication) violations. The platform would correlate these technical indicators with the specific attack chain—from initial unauthenticated access through handler execution to session establishment—enabling rapid identification and remediation of this critical bypass.
