Buddypress Force Password Change <= 0.1 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Account Takeover via Password Update

Published Apr 24, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026 · Assigned by Wordfence

Description

The Buddypress Force Password Change plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authenticated account takeover due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their password through the 'bp_force_password_ajax' function in all versions up to, and including, 0.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above and under certain prerequisites, to change arbitrary user's passwords, including administrators, and leverage that to gain access to their accounts.
