Forced subscriber unsubscription via missing nonce validation
Published Jan 20, 2026 · Updated Jan 20, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Newsletter 9.1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to unsubscribe subscribers through a forged request. The hook_newsletter_action() function processes the newsletter action without correctly validating a nonce before changing subscription state. Exploitation requires a logged-in user to follow an attacker-controlled link, and the demonstrated consequence is newsletter unsubscription.
