Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in AcyMailing Newsletter Team AcyMailing SMTP Newsletter acymailing allows Blind SQL Injection.This issue affects AcyMailing SMTP Newsletter: from n/a through <= 10.11.0.
AnalysisAI
Blind SQL injection in the AcyMailing SMTP Newsletter plugin for WordPress (all versions up to and including 10.11.0) lets remote attackers inject arbitrary SQL through unsanitized input and extract database contents inference-by-inference. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 9.3, elevated by a changed scope and confidentiality impact against the underlying WordPress database. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV; the finding originates from Patchstack.
Technical ContextAI
AcyMailing is a widely used newsletter/email-marketing extension; this advisory concerns its SMTP Newsletter component for WordPress. The root cause is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command), meaning user-controlled data is concatenated into a SQL query without parameterization or adequate escaping. Because it is described as 'blind' SQL injection, the query results are not returned directly in the response; an attacker infers data via boolean or time-based side channels. The affected component, per CPE cpe:2.3:a:acymailing_newsletter_team:acymailing_smtp_newsletter:*, interacts with the shared WordPress MySQL/MariaDB database, so successful injection can reach data belonging to other plugins and core tables.
RemediationAI
Update the AcyMailing SMTP Newsletter plugin to the fixed release as directed by the vendor; a released patched version is not independently confirmed from the input data, and the affected range (<= 10.11.0) conflicts with the '10.10.2' string in the advisory slug, so verify the correct target version at the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/acymailing/vulnerability/wordpress-acymailing-smtp-newsletter-plugin-10-10-2-sql-injection-vulnerability) before deploying. Until a confirmed patch is applied, place a Web Application Firewall or Patchstack virtual patch in front of the site to block SQL-injection payloads to the plugin's endpoints, restrict access to AcyMailing admin/AJAX handlers to trusted users, and consider temporarily deactivating the SMTP Newsletter component if it is not business-critical - the trade-off being loss of newsletter sending until patched. Ensure database users used by WordPress hold least privilege so a read-only blind injection cannot be escalated.
