Affected products and versions
- Product named in the record: WordPress Ultimate Addons for Beaver Builder.
- Version explicitly named in the description: 1.2.4.1.

Exploitation status

Remediation and mitigation
- Identify whether the Ultimate Addons for Beaver Builder plugin is installed on any WordPress site and which version is in use.
- Check the vendor site for an updated release and apply it. Because no fixed version appears in the record, confirm the fix status with the vendor before relying on it.
- If no fix is available, consider disabling the social login feature or removing the plugin until the status is clarified.
- Review and reduce the number of administrator accounts, and enforce strong authentication for those accounts.
- After patching or changing configuration, invalidate active sessions for administrator accounts.
Detection guidance
- Review web server and WordPress logs for requests to admin-ajax.php related to social login features, especially from unfamiliar sources or at unusual volumes.
- Look for administrator sign-ins from new IP addresses, unusual user agents or times that do not match known staff activity.
- Audit the user list and role assignments for unexpected administrator accounts or recent privilege changes.
- Monitor for unexpected plugin, theme or file changes following any suspicious administrator session.
