Exploitation Conditions

No special authentication or privilege is required - the CVSS vector PR:N/UI:N confirms unauthenticated, interaction-free exploitation. The target system must be running WordPress with the Mail Mint plugin installed and active at version 1.31.0 or earlier. The vulnerable endpoint(s) must be network-reachable; if the WordPress REST API or AJAX handlers are blocked for anonymous users at the server level, exploitation would be prevented. No specific non-default configuration is named in the advisory as a prerequisite - this appears to affect default plugin installations. Exploitation is limited to partial confidentiality and integrity impact (C:L/I:L); full site takeover is not indicated by the available data.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N represents a straightforward network-exploitable, zero-prerequisite flaw, but the limited impact (C:L/I:L/A:N) caps real-world severity. No EPSS score was provided in the input; no KEV listing and no POC are noted, suggesting this has not yet seen opportunistic mass exploitation. For sites using Mail Mint - particularly those processing subscriber data or managing outbound email campaigns - unauthorized read/write of marketing data (subscriber lists, opt-in settings, campaign content) carries meaningful business risk even without full compromise. The absence of any privilege or interaction requirement makes automated scanning trivial, raising automatable risk despite the moderate score. Organizations running the plugin should treat this as an elevated-priority patch given the unauthenticated attack surface, even though the raw CVSS does not reach critical threshold.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker identifies a WordPress site running Mail Mint ≤1.31.0 via passive reconnaissance (e.g., plugin enumeration). The attacker sends a crafted HTTP request directly to the vulnerable REST API endpoint or AJAX handler, bypassing all authorization checks, and reads subscriber data or modifies campaign settings without possessing any WordPress credentials. No public exploit code exists at time of analysis, but the low complexity and zero-prerequisite nature make manual exploitation straightforward for any competent attacker.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 03, 2026

Broken access control in the Mail Mint WordPress plugin (≤1.31.0) exposes one or more endpoints to unauthenticated remote attackers due to missing authorization checks (CWE-862). The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms exploitation requires no authentication or user interaction against default installations. Partial confidentiality and integrity impact (C:L/I:L) suggests attackers can read or modify data - such as subscriber lists, campaign settings, or plugin configuration - without holding any WordPress account. No public exploit code or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Update Mail Mint to a version above 1.31.0 via the WordPress plugin dashboard or the WordPress.org plugin repository. The Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/mail-mint/vulnerability/wordpress-mail-mint-plugin-1-31-0-broken-access-control-vulnerability) should be checked for the confirmed fixed version, as the input data does not specify an exact patched release number - the remediation version is not independently confirmed from available input. If an immediate update is not possible, a compensating control would be to restrict access to the WordPress REST API and admin-ajax.php for unauthenticated requests at the web server or WAF layer, though this may break legitimate plugin functionality for front-end opt-in forms. No additional workarounds are specified in the advisory.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Mail Mint is an email marketing automation plugin for WordPress developed by WPFunnels (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:wpfunnels:mail_mint:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). WordPress plugins expose functionality via REST API endpoints and AJAX handlers; CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) indicates that one or more of these handlers in Mail Mint ≤1.31.0 fail to verify whether the requesting user holds the required WordPress capability before executing the action. This is distinct from authentication bypass: a user is not misidentified - rather, no authorization check is performed at all, allowing any unauthenticated HTTP client to invoke privileged operations. The C:L/I:L CVSS impact profile suggests the accessible actions provide partial, not full, read/write over plugin-managed data.
