Loading vulnerability…
The WP-jobhunt plugin for WordPress, prior to version 2.4, contains a vulnerability in which the cs_reset_pass() function, accessible via admin-ajax.php, does not properly control or authenticate AJAX requests. This allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to reset the password of any user's account by sending a crafted request.

This repository contains a Python exploit script (exploit.py) and a README.md for exploiting two vulnerabilities (CVE-2018-19487 and CVE-2018-19488) in the WordPress wp-jobhunt plugin (used with the JobCareer theme), version 2.2 and earlier. The exploit targets the /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php endpoint, sending unauthenticated POST requests to trigger AJAX actions that allow user enumeration and password reset. The script provides four main functions: checking for user enumeration vulnerability, checking for password reset vulnerability, enumerating users (display name and email), and resetting a user's password. The exploit is operational and requires the target site to expose the vulnerable AJAX endpoint. The repository is structured simply, with the main exploit logic in exploit.py and usage instructions in the README.md.
