DescriptionCVE.org

The Login & Register Forms WordPress plugin before 3.2.5 does not properly enforce the rate limit on its password-reset verification-code flow, keying both the verification code and the per-source attempt counter on an unauthenticated, client-controlled value, allowing unauthenticated attackers to reset the limit at will and brute-force the code to take over any account, including administrators, when the verification-code reset mode is enabled.

AnalysisAI

Account takeover in the Login & Register Forms WordPress plugin (versions before 3.2.5) enables unauthenticated attackers to brute-force password-reset verification codes by bypassing the plugin's rate-limit control. The rate limiter and code storage are both keyed on a client-supplied value, meaning an attacker can arbitrarily reset their attempt counter and exhaust the verification code space, resulting in full compromise of any account - including site administrators - on affected WordPress installations. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Identify WordPress site with vulnerable plugin and reset mode enabled
Delivery
Initiate password reset for target account (admin or user)
Exploit
Rotate client-controlled key to reset rate-limit counter
Execution
Brute-force verification code space iteratively
Persist
Submit valid code to authenticate reset
Impact
Set attacker-controlled password and achieve full account takeover

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The Login & Register Forms plugin's verification-code-based password reset mode must be explicitly enabled in the plugin settings - this is a non-default configuration distinct from the standard WordPress core password reset mechanism, and this is reflected in the CVSS AC:H rating. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD CVSS score of 8.1 (High) with vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H is reasonable: AC:H correctly reflects that the vulnerable code path requires the non-default verification-code reset mode to be enabled, reducing the exposed population. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An unauthenticated attacker targets a WordPress site running the Login & Register Forms plugin with verification-code reset mode enabled, initiating a password reset for a known administrator account. By cycling the client-controlled key value after each failed attempt, the attacker continuously resets the rate-limit counter and systematically brute-forces the verification code space. …
Remediation Update the Login & Register Forms WordPress plugin to version 3.2.5 or later, which resolves the rate-limit bypass by anchoring both the verification code and the attempt counter to a server-controlled session identifier rather than a client-supplied value. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify WordPress installations running the Login & Register Forms plugin and upgrade to version 3.2.5 or later. …
