Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-01-07 12:31 – Updated: 2026-01-07 12:31

Details

The Newsletter Email Subscribe plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.4. This is due to incorrect nonce validation on the nels_settings_page function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update plugin settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Severity ?

4.3 (Medium)
