An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-2449 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: UserPro - Community and User Profile WordPress Plugin. 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-2023-2449/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2449/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-2449","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2449/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-2449","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3vmr-c5f4-vpxf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass password reset validation to take over user accounts in the UserPro WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Wordfence","cpe":[{"product":"userpro","vendor":"userproplugin"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-620","name":"Unverified Password Change"}],"description":"The UserPro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized password resets in versions up to, and including 5.1.1. This is due to the plugin using native password reset functionality, with insufficient validation on the password reset function (userpro_process_form). The function uses the plaintext value of a password reset key instead of a hashed value which means it can easily be retrieved and subsequently used. An attacker can leverage CVE-2023-2448 and CVE-2023-2446, or another vulnerability like SQL Injection in another plugin or theme installed on the site to successfully exploit this vulnerability.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"UserPro \u003c= 5.1.1 - Insecure Password Reset Mechanism","id":"CVE-2023-2449","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in FiboSearch – Ajax Search for WooCommerce","id":"CVE-2023-2450"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"UserPro \u003c= 5.1.4 - Missing Authorization to Arbitrary Shortcode Execution via userpro_shortcode_template","id":"CVE-2023-2448"},"products":["UserPro - Community and User Profile WordPress Plugin"],"published":"2023-11-22","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"WordPress UserPro plugin \u003c= 5.1.8 - Unauthenticated Account Takeover vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-35700","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"UserPro \u003c= 5.1.1 - Authentication Bypass to Administrator","id":"CVE-2023-2437","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-22"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16562","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-11-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"UserPro \u003c= 5.1.1 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2023-2440","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-22"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"UserPro \u003c= 5.1.0 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to PHP Object Injection","id":"CVE-2023-2497","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-22"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"UserPro \u003c= 5.1.4 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2023-6009","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-22"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-08","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass password reset validation to take over user accounts in the UserPro WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2449/"}
