Summary

The Newsletter Popup plugin for WordPress, up to version 1.2, is susceptible to a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability. This security gap allows attackers to initiate unauthorized actions on behalf of logged-in administrators. Without adequate CSRF checks in place when performing deletions, an attacker can entice an admin into executing malicious actions unknowingly. As a result, this vulnerability presents significant security risks, emphasizing the need for prompt updates and protective measures for site administrators.

Affected Version(s)
