Description
The DynamicKit for Elementor WordPress plugin before 1.0.3 does not validate the host of a user-supplied URL used as the base of the password-reset link it emails, allowing unauthenticated attackers to send a target user a legitimately-formatted reset email whose link points to an attacker-controlled host and carries a valid reset key, leading to account takeover when the victim clicks it.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability arises from the DynamicKit for Elementor WordPress plugin, versions older than 1.0.3, which fails to validate the host portion of the URL embedded in password‑reset emails. An attacker can supply a malicious host when triggering a password reset, resulting in a link that contains a legitimate reset key but points to an attacker‑controlled domain. If a victim clicks the link, the attacker gains full control of the victim’s account. This flaw enables unauthenticated account takeover from anywhere over the web.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that use the DynamicKit for Elementor plugin with a version prior to 1.0.3. The plugin is identified as Unknown:DynamicKit for Elementor.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS base score of 8.8, the flaw is rated high severity. The EPSS score is below 1%, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating a low overall exploitation probability. Nonetheless, the flaw is highly severe because it permits an attacker to bypass authentication entirely by manipulating a legitimate password‑reset process. The attack vector is remote: an attacker simply triggers a password reset and modifies the host part of the reset URL sent in the email, and the inclusion of a valid reset key immediately legitimizes the attacker’s control of the account.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the DynamicKit for Elementor plugin to version 1.0.3 or later to include host validation in password‑reset links.
  • Temporarily disable the plugin’s password‑reset functionality or block the reset email from being sent until a patch is applied.
  • Implement server‑side validation to ensure that the host component of any password‑reset URL matches the site’s origin before sending the email.
