At a glance
CVE-2026-7520 is a high-severity Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Mailmunch Forms for Mailchimp WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 3.2.7. It carries a CVSS score of 8.1 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity; high confidentiality, integrity impact). Exploitation requires an authenticated account at Subscriber level or above. The issue is fixed in version 3.2.8; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed August 2026, reported by t0ann9uy3n.
Vulnerability Overview
The MailChimp Forms by MailMunch plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the `sign_in()` and `sign_up()` AJAX handlers in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to relink the site's MailMunch integration to an attacker-controlled MailMunch account by submitting attacker-supplied credentials. Once relinked, all subscriber data captured by the plugin's forms is delivered to the attacker, and the forms/landing pages rendered on the site are pulled from the attacker's MailMunch account.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no interaction from a victim user. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality, integrity.
CWE-862: Missing Authorization
Mailmunch Forms for Mailchimp <= 3.2.7 carries this weakness at sign_in(), and reaching it takes an account at Subscriber level or above. A missing authorization check means a function is reachable by anyone who can reach the endpoint, because the code never asks whether the caller is allowed to perform the action.
Any user who can reach the endpoint gets to run an action reserved for higher-privileged roles, from reading protected data to changing settings or content. For Mailmunch Forms for Mailchimp the fix is 3.2.8: builds <= 3.2.7 are affected, anything from 3.2.8 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 3.2.8, or a newer patched version
How WordSec helps
Because it turns on account access, WordSec's login security is the relevant layer: role-based two-factor, captcha and brute-force limits raise the cost of getting the account this needs. None of that substitutes for the fix: Mailmunch Forms for Mailchimp 3.2.8 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
