FKIE_CVE-2024-11285

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-03-14 05:15 - Updated: 2025-07-08 15:20
Severity ?
9.8 (Critical) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
The WP JobHunt plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 7.1. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their details like email via the account_settings_callback() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change arbitrary user's email addresses, including administrators, and leverage that to reset the user's password and gain access to their account.

      "value": "El complemento WP JobHunt para WordPress es vulnerable a la escalada de privilegios mediante la apropiaci\u00f3n de cuentas en todas las versiones hasta la 7.1 incluida. Esto se debe a que el complemento no valida correctamente la identidad del usuario antes de actualizar sus datos, como el correo electr\u00f3nico, mediante la funci\u00f3n account_settings_callback(). Esto permite que atacantes no autenticados cambien las direcciones de correo electr\u00f3nico de usuarios arbitrarios, incluidos los administradores, y aprovechen esta situaci\u00f3n para restablecer la contrase\u00f1a del usuario y acceder a su cuenta."
