WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Email Subscribers & Newsletters < 5.9.11 - Unauthenticated Mailing Queue Trigger

Description

The plugin is vulnerable to Authorization due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action in the `trigger_mailing_queue_sending` function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to force immediate email sending, bypass the schedule, increase server load, and change plugin state (e.g., last-cron-hit), enabling abuse or DoS-like effects.
