CVE-2025-12348: CWE-306 Missing Authentication for Critical Function in icegram Email Subscribers & Newsletters – Email Marketing, Post Notifications & Newsletter Plugin for WordPress
The Icegram Express - Email Subscribers, Newsletters and Marketing Automation Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing 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 `run_action_scheduler_task` function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute scheduled actions early or repeatedly by guessing action IDs, potentially triggering email sends, maintenance tasks, or other privileged operations, causing unexpected state changes and resource usage.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Icegram Express - Email Subscribers, Newsletters and Marketing Automation Plugin for WordPress contains a missing authentication vulnerability (CWE-306) in the run_action_scheduler_task function. Versions up to and including 5.9.10 do not properly verify user authorization before executing scheduled tasks. This allows unauthenticated attackers to guess action IDs and execute scheduled actions early or multiple times, potentially triggering email sends or maintenance operations without permission. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.3 (medium), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, no confidentiality impact, limited integrity impact, and no availability impact. No known exploits in the wild have been reported. Patch status is not confirmed; no vendor advisory or patch links are provided.
Potential Impact
An attacker can execute scheduled tasks without authentication by guessing action IDs, leading to unauthorized triggering of email sends, maintenance tasks, or other privileged plugin operations. This may cause unexpected changes in system state and increased resource usage. There is no direct confidentiality or availability impact reported, but integrity may be affected due to unauthorized task execution.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, consider restricting access to the affected plugin's functionality or disabling the plugin if feasible to prevent exploitation. Monitor for updates from the vendor and apply patches promptly once released.
