Vulnerability Overview

The Easy Digital Downloads plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Unauthenticated Arbitrary Password Resets to Privilege Escalation in versions 3.1 to 3.1.1.4.1. This is due to a lack of validation of a password reset key in the edd_validate_password_reset function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset the password of any user on a vulnerable site, including an administrator, if they have the email or username of the targeted account.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.1.1.4.2, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-620 (Unverified Password Change) When setting a new password for a user, the product does not require knowledge of the original password, or using another form of authentication.
