| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress account at Subscriber level or higher on a site running Omnisend Newsletters, Email Marketing, SMS and Popups plugin version 1.9.0 or earlier (PR:L). No user interaction is needed (UI:N) and the request is remote/network-based (AV:N). The limiting factors are the authentication requirement (a valid low-privilege account must exist, which on sites allowing open registration is trivial but on closed sites is a barrier) and the narrow impact ceiling - only integrity of specific objects is affected (I:L), with no confidentiality or availability consequences. The exact affected endpoint/parameter is not disclosed in available data. |
| Impact | The composite signals point to a low-to-moderate real-world priority. The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N, base 4.3) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw but requires authenticated low-privilege access (PR:L, described as Subscriber level) and yields only a limited integrity impact (I:L) with no confidentiality (C:N) or availability (A:N) effect. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public proof-of-concept were provided, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The CWE-639 (IDOR) classification is consistent with an authenticated user manipulating an object reference to alter data they should not own. The single Patchstack reference is the only corroborating source and does not name the exact parameter or endpoint. One notable metadata conflict: the description and tags label this an 'Authentication Bypass,' but the vector (PR:L) and CWE-639 make this an authorization/IDOR issue, not authentication bypass - the attacker must already be authenticated. Net: a real but low-severity authenticated integrity issue, not a high-urgency remote-code or data-breach event. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker registers or obtains a low-privilege Subscriber account on a WordPress site running the Omnisend plugin (<=1.9.0), then sends a request to an affected plugin endpoint while substituting an object identifier (ID) that belongs to another user or resource. Because the plugin fails to verify ownership of the referenced object, the attacker modifies data they should not control (integrity impact only). No public PoC was provided, and exploitation requires an authenticated account. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 30, 2026
Subscriber-level insecure direct object reference (IDOR) in the Omnisend WordPress plugin through version 1.9.0 allows an authenticated low-privilege user (Subscriber or higher) to modify certain objects they do not own. The flaw is rated CVSS 4.3 with a limited integrity-only impact, requires no user interaction, and can be reached remotely; no public exploit was identified at time of analysis. Sites running the plugin 1.9.0 or earlier with open registration are at higher practical risk because obtaining the required Subscriber account is trivial.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis for CVE-2026-97074; monitor the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/omnisend/vulnerability/wordpress-newsletters-email-marketing-sms-and-popups-by-omnisend-plugin-1-9-0-insecure-direct-object-references-idor-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) for a fixed plugin version and update immediately once available. Until a patched release is confirmed, consider temporarily deactivating the Omnisend plugin if its newsletter/SMS/popup features are non-critical, which removes the attack surface but disables marketing functionality. If deactivation is not acceptable, restrict the ability to obtain a low-privilege Subscriber account by disabling open user registration or requiring administrator approval, and audit or remove unused Subscriber accounts; this raises the bar but may affect legitimate site users. Apply WAF or virtual patching rules to block unauthorized object-reference patterns against Omnisend plugin endpoints (such as wp-admin/admin-ajax.php actions and REST routes used by the plugin), but test carefully because overly broad rules can break legitimate newsletter or popup operations. Keep WordPress, all plugins, and themes up to date, and review role capabilities so Subscribers cannot access plugin administrative functions.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The issue is CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key), a class of IDOR where a plugin endpoint accepts an object identifier from the request and fails to verify that the authenticated user is authorized to act on that object. The affected component is the WordPress plugin 'Newsletters, Email Marketing, SMS and Popups by Omnisend', which integrates WordPress with Omnisend marketing features such as newsletters, email campaigns, SMS, and popups. CPE data lists cpe:2.3:a:omnisend:newsletters,_email_marketing,_sms_and_popups_by_omnisend:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* as affected, while the advisory and description scope the vulnerable range to <= 1.9.0. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N, the root cause is an authorization check gap rather than a memory-safety or injection bug; the attacker must already have a valid low-privilege account, and successful exploitation only tampers with data integrity of targeted objects, with no confidentiality or availability loss. The exact endpoint and parameter are not disclosed in available data.
