DescriptionCVE.org

The vitepos WordPress plugin before 3.6.0, Vitepos WordPress plugin before 3.5.0 do not perform a per-target authorization check in their point-of-sale password-reset API and grant the custom Outlet Manager role an over-broad password-reset capability by default, allowing an Outlet Manager to reset any user's password, including an administrator's, and take over the account.

The flaw stems from a missing per-target authorization check in the password-reset API endpoint, combined with the plugin granting the Outlet Manager role overly broad reset capabilities by default. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires possession of a valid WordPress account assigned the Outlet Manager role - a custom role introduced by the Vitepos plugin. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) accurately captures that network-accessible exploitation is possible but requires the Outlet Manager role - a non-trivial prerequisite. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who holds or has compromised an Outlet Manager account on a Vitepos-enabled WordPress site calls the plugin's password-reset API endpoint, specifying an administrator user as the target. Because no per-target authorization check is performed, the API resets the administrator's password without restriction. …
Remediation Update to Vitepos 3.6.0 or later (or 3.5.0 or later in the lower version branch) as soon as possible - a vendor-released patch is available. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
