CRITICAL EXPLOITED

AdForest <5.1.6 - Privilege Escalation

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Exploitation Summary

CVE-2024-11350 has been observed exploited in the wild (reported by VulnCheck KEV).

Description

The AdForest theme for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.6. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their password through the adforest_reset_password() 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.
