CVE-2023-2297

The Profile Builder plugin for WordPress versions up to 3.9.0 contains a vulnerability that allows attackers to perform unauthorized password resets. The plugin's password recovery function fails to properly validate reset requests and stores plaintext password reset keys instead of hashed values, making them susceptible to retrieval. An attacker can exploit this flaw by leveraging CVE-2023-0814 or other vulnerabilities such as SQL injection present in other installed plugins or themes to gain access to these keys and reset user passwords.
