CVE-2026-5076
ARMember Premium <= 7.3.1 - Insecure Password Reset Mechanism to Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation
Description
The ARMember Premium plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to an insecure password reset mechanism in all versions up to, and including, 7.3.1. The plugin stores a plaintext copy of the password reset key in the `arm_reset_password_key` user meta field when a user requests a password reset. This is in addition to the hashed key that WordPress core stores securely in `wp_users.user_activation_key`. The plaintext key stored in `wp_usermeta` can be used with the plugin's custom `armrp` reset action to set a new password for any user. Combined with another vulnerability such as SQL Injection (CVE-2026-5073, CVE-2026-5074), this makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract the plaintext reset key and take over any user account, including administrators.

Action Type Old Value New Value Added Translation Title: plugin de WordPress ARMember Premium, Description: El plugin ARMember Premium para WordPress es vulnerable a un mecanismo inseguro de restablecimiento de contraseña en todas las versiones hasta la 7.3.1, inclusive. El plugin almacena una copia en texto plano de la clave de restablecimiento de contraseña en el campo meta de usuario 'arm_reset_password_key' cuando un usuario solicita un restablecimiento de contraseña. Esto se suma a la clave hash que el núcleo de WordPress almacena de forma segura en 'wp_users.user_activation_key'. La clave en texto plano almacenada en 'wp_usermeta' puede utilizarse con la acción de restablecimiento personalizada 'armrp' del plugin para establecer una nueva contraseña para cualquier usuario. Combinado con otra vulnerabilidad como una inyección SQL (CVE-2026-5073, CVE-2026-5074), esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados extraigan la clave de restablecimiento en texto plano y tomen el control de cualquier cuenta de usuario, incluidos los administradores. -
