Wordpress Vulnerable to Potential Unauthorized Password Reset
Low
Vulnerability Details
Hi Team,
Yesterday, a new 0day on wordpress core has been discovered by Dawid Golunski, so i want you guys to be aware of it to take an immediate action since nextcloud was using wordpress.
>Wordpress has a password reset feature that contains a vulnerability which
might in some cases allow attackers to get hold of the password reset link
without previous authentication.
Such attack could lead to an attacker gaining unauthorised access to a
victim's WordPress account.
Affected WP version is up to the latest one `4.7.4` , so while waiting for the release of the new version that will fix the issue, you may want to apply a temporary solution, enable `UseCanonicalName` to enforce static SERVER_NAME value.
You can see the full details of the issue on this URL: https://exploitbox.io/vuln/WordPress-Exploit-4-7-Unauth-Password-Reset-0day-CVE-2017-8295.html
