Summary
The Directorist: AI-Powered Business Directory Plugin with Classified Ads Listings plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 8.1. This is due to the directorist_generate_password_reset_pin_code() and reset_user_password() functions not having enough controls to prevent a successful brute force attack of the OTP to change a password, or verify that a password reset request came from an authorized user. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to generate and brute force an OTP that makes it possible to change any users passwords, including an administrator.

"value": "El complemento Directorist: AI-Powered Business Directory Plugin with Classified Ads Listings para WordPress es vulnerable a la escalada de privilegios mediante la apropiaci\u00f3n de cuentas en todas las versiones hasta la 8.1 incluida. Esto se debe a que las funciones directorist_generate_password_reset_pin_code() y reset_user_password() no tienen suficientes controles para evitar un ataque de fuerza bruta exitoso de la OTP para cambiar una contrase\u00f1a o verificar que una solicitud de restablecimiento de contrase\u00f1a provino de un usuario autorizado. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados generen y usen la fuerza bruta para generar una OTP que permita cambiar la contrase\u00f1a de cualquier usuario, incluido un administrador."
