T

he WP JobHunt plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 6.9. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their password through the account_settings_save_callback() 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.

Summary
  • (es) El complemento WP JobHunt para WordPress es vulnerable a la escalada de privilegios mediante el robo de cuentas en todas las versiones hasta la 6.9 incluida. Esto se debe a que el complemento no valida correctamente la identidad del usuario antes de actualizar su contraseña mediante la función account_settings_save_callback(). Esto permite que atacantes no autenticados cambien las contraseñas de usuarios arbitrarios, incluyendo las de administradores, y aprovechen esta situación para acceder a sus cuentas.
