Title
IMITHEMES Listing <= 3.3 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via Unverified Password Reset
Summary
The IMITHEMES Listing plugin is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 3.3. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a verification code value prior to updating their password through the imic_reset_password_init() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change any user's passwords, including administrators if the users email is known.
Severity ?
9.8 (Critical)
