Account takeover via unauthenticated Pro Forms reset

Published Aug 10, 2026 · Updated Aug 10, 2026

Missing authorization in Bricksforge before 3.1.8.8 allows remote attackers to reset any WordPress account password. The Pro Forms Reset User Password action in Update mode accepts an email address and new password without proving requester ownership, then returns authenticated cookies. A site is exposed when it uses this action with server-side current-password verification disabled, the default setting; administrator targeting grants full site control.
