CVE-2018-19488
The WP-jobhunt plugin before version 2.4 for WordPress does not control AJAX requests sent to the cs_reset_pass() function through the admin-ajax.php file, which allows remote unauthenticated attackers to reset the password of a user's account.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.16%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
