Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-04-24 09:30 – Updated: 2026-04-08 21:33
VLAI
Details

The Frontend Login and Registration Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.7. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating a password. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to change arbitrary user's passwords, including administrators, and leverage that to gain access to their account.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

When prompting for a password change, force the user to provide the original password in addition to the new password.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Do not use "forgotten password" functionality. But if you must, ensure that you are only providing information to the actual user, e.g. by using an email address or challenge question that the legitimate user already provided in the past; do not allow the current user to change this identity information until the correct password has been provided.

No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
