CVE-2024-13446
The Workreap plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.5. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to (1) performing a social auto-login or (2) updating their profile details (e.g. password). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to (1) login as an arbitrary user if their email address is known or (2) change an arbitrary user's password, including administrators, and leverage that to gain access to their account. NOTE: This vulnerability was partially fixed in version 3.2.5.

"value": "El complemento Workreap para WordPress es vulnerable a la escalada de privilegios mediante robo de cuenta en todas las versiones hasta la 3.2.5 incluida. Esto se debe a que el complemento no valida correctamente la identidad del usuario antes de (1) iniciar sesión automáticamente con redes sociales o (2) actualizar su perfil (por ejemplo, su contraseña). Esto permite a atacantes no autenticados (1) iniciar sesión con un usuario cualquiera si se conoce su dirección de correo electrónico o (2) cambiar la contraseña de un usuario cualquiera, incluyendo la de administradores, y aprovecharse de ello para acceder a su cuenta.
