This is due to the plugin accepting an arbitrary email address when a username is used in the password reset request. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to send a password reset link for any user registered on the site to their own email address.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":["CWE-269"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/kirki/tags/6.0.4/ComponentLibrary/controller/CompLibFormHandler.php#L330","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/kirki/tags/6.0.4/ComponentLibrary/controller/CompLibFormHandler.php#L48","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/kirki/tags/6.0.4/ComponentLibrary/controller/ElementGenerator.php#L227","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/kirki/trunk/ComponentLibrary/controller/CompLibFormHandler.php#L330","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/kirki/trunk/ComponentLibrary/controller/CompLibFormHandler.php#L48"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:37:48.043517290+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-8206","score":0.01278,"percentile":0.6999,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
