WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
The InWave Jobs plugin for WordPress (CVE-2025-1315) contains a critical privilege escalation vulnerability through password reset functionality, affecting all versions up to and including 3.5.1. The vulnerability was disclosed on March 7, 2025, and primarily impacts WordPress installations using the affected plugin versions (NVD CVE).
Technical details
The vulnerability stems from improper authentication validation during password reset operations. The plugin fails to properly validate user identity before processing password updates, resulting in a critical security flaw with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (CRITICAL). The vulnerability is classified under CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function) and CWE-288 (Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel) (NVD CVE).
Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to change passwords for any user account, including administrators. Once an attacker changes a user's password, they can gain full access to the compromised account and its associated privileges. This is particularly severe when administrator accounts are targeted, as it could lead to complete site compromise (NVD CVE).
