WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

MC4WP: Mailchimp for WordPress < 4.12.0 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary Subscription Deletion

Description

The plugin is vulnerable to Missing Authorization due to the plugin trusting the `_mc4wp_action` POST parameter without validation, allowing unauthenticated attackers to force the form to process unsubscribe actions instead of subscribe actions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to arbitrarily unsubscribe any email address from the connected Mailchimp audience via the `_mc4wp_action` parameter, granted they can obtain the form ID (which is publicly exposed in the HTML source).

Affects Plugins

Fixed in 4.12.0
