Summary
The Grav Login OAuth plugin (grav-plugin-login-oauth) from 1.0.0-beta.1 before 1.4.3 creates accounts for OAuth users as ordinary Grav users with a predictable username and an unsalted MD5 hash of the provider identifier as the password. Password login stays enabled, so the credentials can be recomputed by anyone who knows or guesses a provider identifier. An unauthenticated remote attacker can log in with these credentials and gain administrative control of privileged accounts, using weak credentials (CWE-1391).

Description from the CNA
Grav Login OAuth plugin (grav-plugin-login-oauth) before 1.4.3 provisions OAuth accounts as ordinary Grav users with a deterministic <provider>.<id> username and an unsalted MD5 hash of the provider identifier as the password, without disabling password login. Unauthenticated remote attackers who learn or guess a provider identifier can reproduce these credentials and log in, gaining administrative control of privileged accounts.
