The flaw stems from insufficient verification of user permissions during administrative actions. By exploiting this, an authenticated attacker with at least subscriber-level access can manipulate the application's CBC-encrypted tokens. Specifically, the attacker can perform a CBC bit-flipping attack using a legitimate Current-User token obtained from an authorized Edit User form. This allows the attacker to forge a request to reset the password of any user, including administrators, leading to unauthorized account takeover and complete site compromise. Given the prevalence of WordPress site management plugins, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to site integrity and administrative control.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker authenticates to the target WordPress site with a standard subscriber-level account.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker navigates to a legitimate Edit User form that they are authorized to submit.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker intercepts the valid Current-User token generated by the Frontend Admin plugin.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker analyzes the intercepted token to serve as a known-plaintext base for a CBC bit-flipping attack.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker applies bit-flipping techniques to the token to manipulate the authorization state for privileged actions.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker submits a forged request using the modified token to the password reset endpoint.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe plugin processes the forged request, successfully resetting the targeted administrator's password.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker logs into the site using the newly set administrator credentials to achieve full site control.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful exploitation of CVE-2026-15606 allows an attacker to reset the passwords of any registered user, including site administrators.
