This is related to problematic use of the SERVER_NAME variable in wp-includes/pluggable.php in conjunction with the PHP mail function. Exploitation is not achievable in all cases because it requires at least one of the following: (1) the attacker can prevent the victim from receiving any e-mail messages for an extended period of time (such as 5 days), (2) the victim's e-mail system sends an autoresponse containing the original message, or (3) the victim manually composes a reply containing the original message." } ] }, "problemtype" : { "problemtype_data" : [ { "description" : [ { "lang" : "eng", "value" : "n/a" } ] } ] }, "references" : { "reference_data" : [ { "name" : "41963", "refsource" : "EXPLOIT-DB", "url" : "https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/41963/" }, { "name" : "https://exploitbox.io/vuln/WordPress-Exploit-4-7-Unauth-Password-Reset-0day-CVE-2017-8295.html", "refsource" : "MISC", "url" : "https://exploitbox.io/vuln/WordPress-Exploit-4-7-Unauth-Password-Reset-0day-CVE-2017-8295.html" }, { "name" : "https://wpvulndb.com/vulnerabilities/8807", "refsource" : "MISC", "url" : "https://wpvulndb.com/vulnerabilities/8807" }, { "name" : "DSA-3870", "refsource" : "DEBIAN", "url" : "http://www.debian.org/security/2017/dsa-3870" }, { "name" : "98295", "refsource" : "BID", "url" : "http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/98295" }, { "name" : "1038403", "refsource" : "SECTRACK", "url" : "http://www.securitytracker.com/id/1038403" } ] } }
