Descriptions

The WordPress plugin, Email Subscribers & Newsletters, before 4.2.3 had a privilege bypass flaw that allowed authenticated users (Subscriber or greater access) to send test emails from the administrative dashboard on behalf of an administrator. This occurs because the plugin registers a wp_ajax function to send_test_email.

El plugin de WordPress, Email Subscribers & Newsletters, versiones anteriores a 4.2.3, presentó un fallo de omisión de privilegios que permitía a usuarios autenticados (Suscriptor o acceso superior) enviar correos electrónicos de prueba desde el panel administrativo en nombre de un administrador. Esto se presenta porque el plugin registra una función wp_ajax en send_test_email.
