Unauthenticated action execution via unchecked hook dispatch
Published May 24, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Hook injection in Email Log 2.4.8 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute registered WordPress actions through crafted requests. The check_nonce function accepts a request-supplied action name and dispatches its corresponding hook after verifying only a nonce, without an action allowlist. Exploitation requires a known nonce for a hooked action that lacks its own capability check; resulting effects depend on the invoked action.
