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": "DSA-3870", "refsource": "DEBIAN", "url": "http://www.debian.org/security/2017/dsa-3870" }, { "name": "1038403", "refsource": "SECTRACK", "url": "http://www.securitytracker.com/id/1038403" }, { "name": "98295", "refsource": "BID", "url": "http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/98295" }, { "name": "https://wpvulndb.com/vulnerabilities/8807", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "https://wpvulndb.com/vulnerabilities/8807" } ] } }
