Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in Email Essentials <= 6.0.6 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated Cross-Site Scripting in the Email Essentials WordPress plugin by Acato (all versions through 6.0.6) allows remote attackers to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in a victim's browser by tricking them into visiting a crafted URL. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C) confirms the attack is network-accessible, requires no privileges, and carries a scope change indicating the injected script runs in the victim's browser context rather than the server's. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | No authentication is required (PR:N per the CVSS vector), confirming the vulnerability is exploitable by any remote, unauthenticated attacker. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.1 score reflects a genuine but user-interaction-gated risk: while exploitation requires no authentication and no complex preconditions (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N), it does require a victim to follow a crafted link (UI:R), which limits opportunistic mass exploitation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
