HighCVSS 8.1

Exploitation Probability (EPSS)

Low risk
0.23%

13th percentile - higher than 13% of all known CVEs

Summary

The Login & Register Forms WordPress plugin before version 3.2.5 does not properly enforce the rate limit on its password-reset verification-code flow, keying both the verification code and the per-source attempt counter on an unauthenticated, client-controlled value. This allows unauthenticated attackers to reset the limit at will and brute-force the code to take over any account, including administrators, when the verification-code reset mode is enabled.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can take over an administrator account, gaining full control over the site and all user data.

Recommendation

Update the Login & Register Forms plugin to version 3.2.5 or later, which properly enforces rate limiting and does not rely on client-controlled values.
