CriticalCVSS 9.8
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The Theme My Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in versions up to, and including, 7.2.1. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their password, allowing unauthenticated attackers to change arbitrary user's passwords on multi-site setups in certain configurations.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can take over user accounts, including administrators, leading to full site compromise and loss of system control.

Recommendation

Update the Theme My Login plugin to a version later than 7.2.1 that fixes the issue, and enable additional authentication for critical password change operations.
