Descriptions
Improper Authentication vulnerability in Easy Digital Downloads plugin allows unauth. Privilege Escalation. This issue affects Easy Digital Downloads: from 3.1 through 3.1.1.4.1.
The Easy Digital Downloads plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Unauthenticated Arbitrary Password Resets to Privilege Escalation in versions 3.1 to 3.1.1.4.1. This is due to a lack of validation of a password reset key in the edd_validate_password_reset function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset the password of any user on a vulnerable site, including an administrator, if they have the email or username of the targeted account.
