Directorist: AI-Powered Business Directory < 8.2 - Privilege Escalation and Account Takeover

Description

The plugin is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover due to the directorist_generate_password_reset_pin_code() and reset_user_password() functions not having enough controls to prevent a successful brute force attack of the OTP to change a password, or verify that a password reset request came from an authorized user. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to generate and brute force an OTP that makes it possible to change any users passwords, including an administrator.
