CVE-2024-11284
The 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.

"value": "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."
