Mass email sending via unchecked AJAX action
Published Feb 21, 2022 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
CSRF in WpDevArt Coming soon and Maintenance mode before 3.6.8 allows remote attackers to email every plugin subscriber. The coming_soon_send_mail AJAX action accepts attacker-supplied sender and message fields without performing CSRF validation before dispatch. Exploitation requires an authenticated administrator to load attacker-controlled content, causing the site to send the forged message to all stored subscriber addresses.
