CVE-2017-6955
An issue was discovered in by-email/by-email.php in the Invite Anyone plugin before 1.3.15 for WordPress.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.79%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
An issue was discovered in by-email/by-email.php in the Invite Anyone plugin before 1.3.15 for WordPress. A user is able to change the subject and the body of the invitation mail that should be immutable, which facilitates a social engineering attack.
