CVE-2026-14873 PUBLISHED

Bulk Password Reset <= 1.3.3 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary Password Reset

Assigner: Wordfence
Reserved: 06.07.2026 Published: 10.09.2026 Updated: 10.09.2026

The Bulk Password Reset plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.3. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their details like arbitrary user passwords, including administrator passwords, to a known plugin-configured custom value, enabling full account takeover of the site. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to change arbitrary user's email addresses, including administrators, and leverage that to reset the user's password and gain access to their account.
