6th percentile - higher than 6% of all known CVEs

Summary

The Lenxel WP WordPress theme through version 1.0.31 does not perform any authorization or ownership check on its password-reset action, validating only a CSRF nonce. This allows unauthenticated attackers to reset the password of any user (including an administrator) and take over the account.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can fully compromise the WordPress site by resetting the administrator password, leading to complete site and data takeover.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Lenxel WP theme to a version above 1.0.31 or apply a temporary workaround, such as disabling the password reset function until a patch is available.
