AI Analysis

Impact

This vulnerability arises from inadequate sanitization of user input when generating web pages, enabling reflected XSS. A malicious actor could supply crafted data that is echoed back in the browser, potentially allowing execution of arbitrary scripts in the context of the logged‑in user. Based on the description, it is inferred that the primary impact could include compromise of confidentiality and integrity for users who view affected pages, and the potential for session hijacking or credential theft.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects the WordPress AcyMailing SMTP Newsletter plugin supplied by Datasolution, versions up to and including 11.1.0. Any WordPress installation that has this plugin installed and configured for newsletter delivery is susceptible if the plugin receives unsanitized input values.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates a high severity. Although the EPSS score is not available, the lack of listing in the CISA KEV catalog does not diminish the potential for exploitation. The likely attack vector is a reflected request through a user‑submitted parameter that the plugin echoes into the page—typically via a data entry form or newsletter subscriber URL. An attacker could embed malicious JavaScript in such a parameter to infect the browsers of site visitors or administrators.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Update the WordPress AcyMailing SMTP Newsletter plugin to the latest available version (at least 11.1.1).


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the AcyMailing SMTP Newsletter plugin to version 11.1.1 or later.
  • If an immediate update cannot be performed, temporarily disable or remove the newsletter form from public‑facing pages until the patch is applied.
  • Verify that any custom parameters that the plugin echoes are properly sanitized or escaped; enable any available output‑encoding settings or use WordPress functions such as esc_html() to protect content.
