CVE-2026-14545Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated account takeover via unchecked password reset

Published Jul 28, 2026 · Updated Jul 28, 2026

Improper privilege management in the TrueBooker WordPress plugin before 1.2.4 allows remote attackers to reset any account password. The public user_front_resetpass AJAX handler accepts a caller-controlled tbab-userid and sets its password without validating account ownership; for accounts with an empty user_activation_key, any tbab-activekey value passes. A page containing the truebooker-myaccount shortcode exposes the required public nonces, so no authentication or user interaction is needed to take over an administrator account and the site.
