Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires only that the target WordPress site runs LogixFast Auth before version 1.0.4 and exposes its password-reset functionality (the default behavior for this authentication plugin). The attacker must know or guess a valid username/account identifier (such as the well-known administrator account) and supplies an attacker-controlled email address in the reset request; the flaw is that the one-time code is mailed to that supplied address instead of the account's registered address. No authentication, no victim interaction, and no non-default configuration are needed (PR:N/UI:N), so the only practical limiting factors are having the vulnerable plugin installed and below 1.0.4 and knowing a target account name. The complete fix is updating to version 1.0.4 as provided by the vendor.

Impact

Signals align toward genuine high priority. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes a remotely reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw, and the account-takeover outcome justifies the C:H/I:H/A:H impact and 9.8 base score. SSVC reinforces this: Technical Impact is 'total' and the attack is 'Automatable: yes' - consistent with a password-reset abuse that can be scripted against any known or guessable username, including the administrator. SSVC 'Exploitation: none' indicates no observed in-the-wild activity, and the vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV, so there is no confirmed active exploitation. EPSS is not provided in the input, so probabilistic exploitation likelihood cannot be stated. The vuln.today decision label is act_now, driven by the trivial exploitability and total impact rather than by observed exploitation. The one tension to note: the 'Automatable: yes / total impact / act_now' combination argues for urgency, while 'Exploitation: none' and the absence of a verified working exploit suggest the threat is currently potential rather than demonstrated - treat as urgent-to-patch based on exploitability, not as an in-progress incident.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker submits a password-reset request for the administrator account but supplies their own email address in the request; because the plugin mails the one-time reset code to the attacker-supplied address rather than the account's registered address, the attacker receives the code, completes the reset, and takes over the admin account. A public PoC reference exists (WPScan) but it is not verified as working exploit code, so the exact request format must be confirmed against the advisory. Given AV:N/AC:L/PR:N, no special skill, timing, or victim interaction is required.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 29, 2026

Unauthenticated password reset in the LogixFast Auth WordPress plugin before 1.0.4 allows remote attackers to take over any account, including an administrator account, by supplying an attacker-controlled email address during the reset flow. The plugin sends the one-time reset code to the supplied address rather than the resolved account's registered email, so knowing or guessing a valid username is the main prerequisite. A public PoC reference exists; it is not verified as working exploit code, and active exploitation is not confirmed in the supplied KEV data, but the CVSS 9.8 and act_now priority warrant urgent patching to 1.0.4.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: update LogixFast Auth to version 1.0.4, which the advisory identifies as the fixed release for the affected 0 to <1.0.4 range. Verify the installed plugin version and apply the update through the WordPress plugin management process, then confirm the site reports 1.0.4 or later. The WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/ea433cee-716a-4c41-b586-193ed864a1be/ and NVD entry at https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-113616 provide the vendor and vulnerability details. The available sources do not describe a separate workaround; the vendor-provided complete fix is updating to 1.0.4.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw is an improper privilege-management issue (CWE-269) in the WordPress authentication plugin's password-reset workflow. According to the advisory, LogixFast Auth before 1.0.4 resolves a target account but mails the one-time code to the email address supplied in the reset request instead of the account's own registered address, so an attacker who knows a username can receive the code and set a new password. The CPE entry uses an unknown vendor with product logixfast_auth and a wildcard version, matching EUVD's affected range of 0 to <1.0.4; the trigger described in the sources is the exposed password-reset functionality, not a race or memory-safety condition. No authentication or victim interaction is required per the CVSS vector PR:N/UI:N.

DescriptionCVE.org

The LogixFast Auth WordPress plugin before 1.0.4 does not deliver its password-reset one-time code to the resolved account's own email address, mailing it to the address supplied in the request instead, allowing unauthenticated attackers to reset any user's password, including an administrator's, and take over the account.

Technical POC Analysis

The advisory classifies the bug as CWE-269, but the concrete defect is an insecure password-reset delivery flow: the one-time reset code is not bound to the resolved account's registered email addres…

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The LogixFast Auth WordPress plugin (versions before 1.0.4) contains a critical unauthenticated password reset flaw that allows an attacker to take over any account, including administrators, by supplying their own email during the reset flow. This puts the entire WordPress site at risk, including data confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as well as potential downstream compromise of integrated systems. Leadership should prioritize immediate remediation because a public proof-of-concept reference exists, though it is not verified as working exploit code and active exploitation is not confirmed.
