CVE-2013-2107: Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Mail On Update plugin before 5.2.0 for WordPress all...

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Mail On Update plugin before 5.2.0 for WordPress allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that change the "List of alternative recipients" via the mailonupdate_mailto parameter in the mail-on-update page to wp-admin/options-general.php. NOTE: a third party claims that 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 are also vulnerable, but the issue might require a separate CVE identifier since this might reflect an incomplete fix.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-2107 is a CSRF flaw in the WordPress Mail On Update plugin. A remote attacker could trick a logged-in administrator into changing the plugin's alternative recipient list, affecting where update notifications are sent. The sources do not show active exploitation or a complete severity score. Exposure is likely limited to WordPress sites that installed the Mail On Update plugin, especially versions before 5.2.0. Sites without the plugin are not affected based on the provided sources. Handle during normal vulnerability remediation unless the plugin is internet-facing on high-value WordPress estates. Priority rises if administrators frequently use the site and update notification routing is operationally important. Mitigation focus: Inventory WordPress sites for the Mail On Update plugin.; Upgrade or remove vulnerable Mail On Update installations per vendor guidance.; Treat versions 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 cautiously because sources mention possible incomplete fixing..
