Description

The WHIZZ WordPress plugin through 1.1.8 does not validate the password-reset key before updating a user's password, relying only on a nonce that is exposed to unauthenticated visitors, allowing attackers to set an arbitrary password for any user, including administrators, and fully take over their accounts.
