Swift SMTP <= 5.0.6 - Cross-Site Request Forgery
Strategic Overview
<= 5.0.6N/AVulnerability Overview
The Swift SMTP (formerly Welcome Email Editor) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.6. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the ajax_handler() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to send emails via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
Technical Analysis
REMEDIATION: Update to version 5.0.7, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)) The web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor.
