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 Regards Japz
