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-2023-35039 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Be Devious Web Development Password Reset with Code for WordPress REST API. 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-2023-35039/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-35039/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-35039","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-35039/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-35039","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-566f-j62v-7p4f"],"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 authentication restrictions to abuse password reset functionality, potentially taking over user accounts.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"password_reset_with_code_for_wordpress_rest_api","vendor":"bedevious"}],"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-307","name":"Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts"}],"description":"Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts vulnerability in Be Devious Web Development Password Reset with Code for WordPress REST API allows Authentication Abuse.This issue affects Password Reset with Code for WordPress REST API: from n/a through 0.0.15.","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":"WordPress Password Reset with Code for WordPress REST API Plugin \u003c= 0.0.15 is vulnerable to Broken Authentication","id":"CVE-2023-35039","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress SendPress Newsletters plugin \u003c= 1.23.11.6 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-35040"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress WP PDF Generator Plugin \u003c= 1.2.2 is vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)","id":"CVE-2023-35038"},"products":["Password Reset with Code for WordPress REST API"],"published":"2023-12-07","related":[],"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":"2026-04-28","vendors":["Be Devious Web Development"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass authentication restrictions to abuse password reset functionality, potentially taking over user accounts.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-35039/"}
