AI-suggested

Until an official fix is available, users should consider disabling the legacy lost-password handler or the [login_form] shortcode if possible, and monitor for updates from the vendor. Avoid clicking password reset links from untrusted sources. Follow the vendor's guidance once published.

Description

The Membership Plugin – Kadence Memberships for WordPress (up to version 4.0.0) contains a vulnerability in its password reset mechanism that allows unauthenticated attackers to poison password reset links. This flaw enables attackers to craft reset emails pointing victims to attacker-controlled URLs containing valid reset keys. When victims click these links, the reset keys leak to the attacker, who can then use them to take over the victims' accounts, including administrator accounts.
