id: CVE-2024-12824

info:
  name: Nokri – Job Board WordPress Theme <= 1.6.2 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary Password Change
  author: iamnoooob,rootxharsh,pdresearch
  severity: critical
  description: |
    The Nokri – Job Board WordPress Theme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.2. This is due to the plugin not properly checking for an empty token value prior updating their details like password. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change arbitrary user's password, including administrators, and leverage that to gain access to their account.
