Description

The BricksForge WordPress plugin before 3.1.8.8 does not verify the identity of the requester when processing a password change submitted through one of its form actions, allowing unauthenticated attackers to set an arbitrary password for any user, including administrators, and take over their account.<br /> <br /> Exploitation requires the site to have a form using the BricksForge WordPress plugin before 3.1.8.8&amp;#39;s password reset action in its update mode. The server-side current-password verification option for that action is disabled by default, so the vulnerable state is the default one once the action is used.
