CVE-2025-4607 Information

Description

The PSW Front-end Login & Registration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to and including 1.12 via the customer_registration() function. This is due to the use of a weak low-entropy OTP mechanism in the forget() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to initiate a password reset for any user including administrators and elevate their privileges for full site takeover.
