## Description

The Uncanny Toolkit for LearnDash plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.1 due to disabled nonce validation in the Front End Login AJAX password reset, login, and lost-password handlers. The reset handler completed the password change using only the reset cookie. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to set a password of their choosing for a user who has a pending password reset, leading to account takeover, as well as to perform login CSRF and forged lost-password requests, provided they can trick the victim into performing an action such as clicking a link while the reset is active.
