WHIZZ <= 1.1.8 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary User Password Reset

Summary

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.

Remediation

1. Inventory every WHIZZ deployment, including staging.
2. No fixed version appears in the public sources yet. Check the references below and the vendor directly.
