HIGH 8.1

Exertio Framework <= 1.3.1 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary User Password Update

CVSS Score
8.1
EPSS Score
0.0%
EPSS Percentile
0th

The Exertio Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.1. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their password through the fl_forgot_pass_new() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change arbitrary user's passwords, including administrators, and leverage that to gain access to their account.
