The handler reads the client-supplied post_id and retrieves the corresponding email log post content (including the password-reset link), relying only on the \u2018edit_posts\u2019 capability without restricting to administrators or validating ownership. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to harvest an admin\u2019s reset link and elevate their privileges to administrator."}], "lastModified": "2025-07-16T14:58:59.837", "sourceIdentifier": "security@wordfence.com"}
