Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the password reset functionality if possible and monitor for suspicious password reset activity. Avoid using affected versions of the InWave Jobs plugin and consider disabling or removing the plugin until a patch is released.

Description

The InWave Jobs plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via password reset in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.1. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their 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.
