Descriptions

The AppPresser plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized password resets in versions up to, and including 4.2.5. This is due to the plugin generating too weak a reset code, and the code used to reset the password has no attempt or time limit.

El complemento AppPresser para WordPress es vulnerable a restablecimientos de contraseña no autorizados en versiones hasta la 4.2.5 incluida. Esto se debe a que el complemento genera un código de restablecimiento demasiado débil y el código utilizado para restablecer la contraseña no tiene límite de intento ni de tiempo.
