CVE-2026-18550
CriticalCVSS 9.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk25th percentile - higher than 25% of all known CVEs
Summary
The Nokri - Job Board WordPress Theme is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation via Account Takeover in all versions up to and including 1.6.6. This is due to insufficient reset token validation in the `nokri_reset_password()` function, allowing empty attacker-supplied reset tokens to match empty or unset `sb_password_forget_token` user meta values. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset the password of any user, including administrators, and gain access to their account.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could take over an administrator account, leading to full compromise of the WordPress site, including content modification, malware installation, and data theft.
Recommendation
Immediately update the Nokri theme to a version newer than 1.6.6 if a patch is available, or apply other mitigations such as additional token validation.
