Description

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Mail On Update plugin before 5.2.0 for WordPress allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that change the "List of alternative recipients" via the mailonupdate_mailto parameter in the mail-on-update page to wp-admin/options-general.php. NOTE: a third party claims that 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 are also vulnerable, but the issue might require a separate CVE identifier since this might reflect an incomplete fix.

Public exploits

Exploit or proof-of-concept code for this vulnerability is publicly available, which lowers the bar for attackers. Treat it as a reason to patch sooner.

Third-party code, not reviewed by us. Public PoCs are sometimes fake or contain malware. Read the code first and run it only in an isolated lab, against systems you are authorised to test.
