Summary

The User Verification by PickPlugins WordPress plugin through 2.0.47 does not verify that a request to resend a verification email is authorized to act on the supplied user, nor bind the protecting token to that user, allowing unauthenticated attackers to reset arbitrary users' email-verification status and lock them, including administrators, out of their accounts.

Risk Assessment

Attackers can lock out administrator accounts, leading to loss of site access and potential takeover.

Recommendation

Update the User Verification by PickPlugins plugin to version 2.0.48 or later if available, or apply a security patch.
