AI-suggested
Until an official fix is released, restrict access to the AcyMailing plugin and consider disabling or limiting AJAX handler access for low-privilege users as a temporary mitigation. Monitor for updates from the vendor and apply patches promptly once available.
Description
The AcyMailing plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions From 9.11.0 up to, and including, 10.8.1 due to a missing capability check on the `wp_ajax_acymailing_router` AJAX handler. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to access admin-only controllers (including configuration management), enable the autologin feature, create a malicious newsletter subscriber with an injected `cms_id` pointing to any WordPress user, and then use the autologin URL to authenticate as that user, including administrators.
