Missing Authorization vulnerability in AcyMailing Newsletter Team AcyMailing SMTP Newsletter acymailing allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects AcyMailing SMTP Newsletter: from n/a through <= 10.11.1.

AnalysisAI

Broken access control in the AcyMailing SMTP Newsletter plugin for WordPress (versions up to and including 10.11.1) lets an authenticated low-privileged user reach functionality that should be restricted, impacting integrity and, most notably, availability of the plugin's newsletter/mailing operations. The flaw is a missing authorization check (CWE-862) reported by Patchstack; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV. Note an inconsistency in the source data: the CVE description states affected 'through <= 10.11.1' while the linked Patchstack advisory slug references 10.10.2 - the exact patched version is not confirmed from the input.

Technical ContextAI

AcyMailing SMTP Newsletter is an email/newsletter delivery plugin for WordPress used to compose and send mailings via SMTP. The single affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:acymailing_newsletter_team:acymailing_smtp_newsletter:*. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): one or more plugin actions-typically exposed through WordPress admin-ajax.php or REST/nonce-gated handlers-fail to verify that the requesting user holds the required capability. In WordPress plugins this class of bug most often stems from a handler that authenticates the session but omits a current_user_can() capability check, so any logged-in account, including low-privilege roles such as Subscriber or Contributor, can invoke privileged operations. The CVSS vector (I:L, A:H) indicates the reachable functionality allows some data modification and, more significantly, disruption of the mailing service rather than data theft (C:N).

RemediationAI

Upgrade the AcyMailing SMTP Newsletter plugin to the vendor's fixed release beyond 10.11.1 as soon as it is confirmed available; no exact fix version is independently verified from the provided data, so consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/acymailing/vulnerability/wordpress-acymailing-smtp-newsletter-plugin-10-10-2-broken-access-control-vulnerability) and the vendor changelog for the precise patched build before deploying. Because exploitation requires an authenticated low-privileged account, an effective interim compensating control is to disable open user self-registration (Settings > General > 'Anyone can register') or set the default new-user role to the lowest capability, which shrinks the pool of accounts that can reach the vulnerable handler at the cost of blocking legitimate self-service signups. Additionally, restrict or monitor access to admin-ajax.php and the plugin's REST endpoints via a WAF rule and audit existing low-privilege accounts for unexpected mailing activity; a virtual patch through Patchstack or a WAF is a reasonable stopgap where immediate upgrade is not possible, with the trade-off of added request filtering overhead.
