Vulnerability Overview

The Icegram Express - Email Subscribers, Newsletters and Marketing Automation Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authorization in versions up to, and including, 5.9.10. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action in the `trigger_mailing_queue_sending` function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to force immediate email sending, bypass the schedule, increase server load, and change plugin state (e.g., last-cron-hit), enabling abuse or DoS-like effects.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 5.9.11, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function) The product does not perform any authentication for functionality that requires a provable user identity or consumes a significant amount of resources.
