Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Ryan Fabella.

The Login & Register Customizer – Forms, Popup, Profile & WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.1. This is due to the plugin not restricting the number of password reset code attempts. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change arbitrary user's passwords including administrators, and leverage that to gain access to their account.
