Descriptions

The POST SMTP Mailer WordPress plugin before 2.5.7 does not have proper CSRF checks in some AJAX actions, which could allow attackers to make logged in users with the manage_postman_smtp capability delete arbitrary logs via a CSRF attack.

El complemento POST SMTP Mailer de WordPress anterior a 2.5.7 no tiene comprobaciones CSRF adecuadas en algunas acciones AJAX, lo que podría permitir a los atacantes hacer que los usuarios registrados con la capacidad de Manage_postman_smtp eliminen registros arbitrarios mediante un ataque CSRF.

The POST SMTP Mailer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.5.6. This is due to incorrect nonce validation on the delete_logs_ajax() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete logs granted they can trick a site user with the manage_postman_smtp capability into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
