Vulnerability Overview

The Email Before Download plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SMTP Header Injection in versions up to, and including, 3.6 via the 'email_from' POST parameter, where the 'emailfrom' variable is concatenated in the SMTP 'From:' header and then directly passed to wp_mail. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to add newline characters which can lead to arbitrary headers/message bodies.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 4.0, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation) The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly.
