CVE-2024-12295

The BoomBox Theme Extensions plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.0. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their password through the 'boombox_ajax_reset_password' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level privileges and above, to change arbitrary user's passwords, including administrators, and leverage that to gain access to their account.

Summary
  • (es) El complemento BoomBox Theme Extensions para WordPress es vulnerable a la escalada de privilegios mediante el robo de cuentas en todas las versiones hasta la 1.8.0 incluida. Esto se debe a que el complemento no valida correctamente la identidad del usuario antes de actualizar su contraseña mediante la función 'boombox_ajax_reset_password'. Esto permite que atacantes autenticados, con privilegios de suscriptor o superiores, cambien las contraseñas de usuarios arbitrarios, incluyendo las de administradores, y aprovechen esta situación para acceder a sus cuentas.
