Published Mar 11, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Improper input validation in BP Email Assign Templates 1.7 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to delete arbitrary site options. The delete_eto() function accepts an insufficiently validated option identifier and deletes the corresponding WordPress option. Administrator-level access and interaction with the plugin's deletion workflow are required; successful exploitation can remove configuration data and disrupt the site.
