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-2025-5305 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown 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-2025-5305/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-5305/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-5305","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-5305/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-5305","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-53hx-hjr5-fg4m"],"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 predict insecurely generated password reset codes to take over user accounts in this WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The Password Reset with Code for WordPress REST API WordPress plugin before 0.0.17 does not use cryptographically sound algorithms to generate OTP codes, potentially leading to account takeovers.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Password Reset with Code \u003c 0.0.17 - Insecure Password Reset Code Creation","id":"CVE-2025-5305","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Command Injection in Netflow path","id":"CVE-2025-5306"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in PT Project Notebooks – Take Meeting minutes, create budgets, track task management, and more","id":"CVE-2025-5304"},"products":["Password Reset with Code for WordPress REST API"],"published":"2025-09-18","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-09-22","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Attackers can predict insecurely generated password reset codes to take over user accounts in this WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-5305/"}
