Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
InfiniteWP Admin Panel versions prior to 3.1.12.3
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to conduct admin Account Takeover attacks due to a weak password-reset code generated by the
resetPasswordSendMail function. This makes it easier for attackers to gain unauthorized access to admin accounts.Recommendations
For versions prior to 3.1.12.3, update to version 3.1.12.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the
resetPasswordSendMail function until a patch is available. Restrict access to admin accounts to minimize the risk of exploitation. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
