Technical details
The TrueBooker plugin's front-end password reset handler, specifically the 'user_front_resetpass' AJAX action, fails to verify the 'tbab-activekey' (activation key) when a user account is in its default state (empty user_activation_key). An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by scraping two public nonces from the site's front-end and sending a crafted AJAX request to 'admin-ajax.php'. By specifying a target 'tbab-userid' (such as ID 1 for the administrator) and providing a new password, the attacker can bypass authentication and gain full administrative control. The vulnerability is fixed in version 1.2.4.
