The Nokri - Job Board WordPress Theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation via Account Takeover in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.6. This is due to insufficient reset token validation in the nokri_reset_password() function, which allows empty attacker-supplied reset tokens to match empty or unset sb_password_forget_token user meta values. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset the password of any user, including administrators, and gain access to their account.

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target account has an empty or unset sb_password_forget_token user meta value - the default state for any user who has not an active pending reset - allowing an empty attacker-supplied token to satisfy the check in nokri_reset_password(). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This should be treated as a high-priority issue. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
