AI-suggested

Update the GoSMTP WordPress plugin to version 1.2.5 or later, where this authorization flaw has been fixed. No other mitigation is required as the fix addresses the root cause.

Description

A privilege management vulnerability in the GoSMTP WordPress plugin before version 1.2.5 allows users with delegated roles below administrator to modify SMTP settings without proper authorization. This flaw can lead to an administrator account takeover by changing outbound mail delivery settings.
