An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2009-2762 exists.\n\nAffected product: Wordpress Wordpress. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-2762/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-2762/index.md)","id":"CVE-2009-2762","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-2762/index.md","name":"CVE-2009-2762","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2009-2762","GHSA-fxw5-28xr-82fm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress core","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can force a password reset for the first database user, potentially the administrator, by exploiting an array handling flaw in the password reset process.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"wordpress","vendor":"wordpress"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-255","name":null}],"description":"wp-login.php in WordPress 2.8.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to force a password reset for the first user in the database, possibly the administrator, via a key[] array variable in a resetpass (aka rp) action, which bypasses a check that assumes that $key is not an array.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":3,"first_seen":"2008-09-07","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-09-07","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"6397","stars":null,"title":"WordPress Core 2.6.1 - SQL Column Truncation"},{"date":"2008-09-10","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"6421","stars":null,"title":"WordPress Core 2.6.1 - Admin Takeover (SQL Column Truncation)"},{"date":"2009-08-11","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"9410","stars":null,"title":"WordPress Core 2.8.3 - Remote Admin Reset Password"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-2762","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"wordpress:wordpress","products":["wordpress:wordpress"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2009"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-2764"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-2761"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-08-13","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"WordPress Core Interpretation Conflict","id":"CVE-2026-63030","kev_date_added":"2026-07-21","published":"2026-07-17"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"WordPress Core Remote File Inclusion","id":"CVE-2026-87902","kev_date_added":"2026-09-25","published":"2026-09-22"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"WordPress Core SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2026-60137","kev_date_added":"2026-07-21","published":"2026-07-17"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2399","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-04-21"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2400","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-04-21"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-3122","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-08-10"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-3125","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-08-10"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can force a password reset for the first database user, potentially the administrator, by exploiting an array handling flaw in the password reset process.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-2762/"}
