FKIE_CVE-2025-4973

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-06-12 06:15 - Updated: 2025-07-10 00:13
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 Workreap plugin for WordPress, used by the Workreap - Freelance Marketplace WordPress Theme, is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.1. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying a user's identity prior to logging them in when verifying an account with an email address. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as registered users, including administrators, if they know user's email address. This is only exploitable fi the user's confirmation_key has not already been set by the plugin.

Esto se debe a que el complemento no verifica correctamente la identidad del usuario antes de iniciar sesi\u00f3n al verificar una cuenta con una direcci\u00f3n de correo electr\u00f3nico. Esto permite que atacantes no autenticados inicien sesi\u00f3n como usuarios registrados, incluidos administradores, si conocen la direcci\u00f3n de correo electr\u00f3nico del usuario. Esto solo es explotable si el complemento no ha configurado previamente la clave de confirmaci\u00f3n del usuario."
