Description

The tagDiv Composer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Unauthorized Account Access and Privilege Escalation in versions up to, but not including, 3.5 due to improper implementation of the Facebook login feature. This allows unauthenticated attackers to log in as any user as long as they know the user's email address. This plugin is used in several themes such as Newspaper and Newsmag.
