Descriptions

The WP-jobhunt plugin before version 2.4 for WordPress does not control AJAX requests sent to the cs_reset_pass() function through the admin-ajax.php file, which allows remote unauthenticated attackers to reset the password of a user's account.

El plugin WP-jobhunt, en versiones anteriores a la 2.4 para WordPress, no controla las peticiones AJAX enviadas a la función cs_reset_pass() mediante el archivo admin-ajax.php, lo que permite que los atacantes remotos no autenticados restablezcan la contraseña de la cuenta de un usuario.
