CWE
- CWE-620 - Unverified Password Change
Summary
The Sala - Startup & SaaS WordPress Theme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.4. This is due to the theme not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their details like password. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change arbitrary user's passwords, including administrators, and leverage that to gain access to their account.

Mitigation
Phase: Architecture and Design
Description:
- When prompting for a password change, force the user to provide the original password in addition to the new password.
Mitigation
Phase: Architecture and Design
Description:
- Do not use "forgotten password" functionality. But if you must, ensure that you are only providing information to the actual user, e.g. by using an email address or challenge question that the legitimate user already provided in the past; do not allow the current user to change this identity information until the correct password has been provided.
