CVE-2022-0218

MEDIUM 6.1EPSS 66.4%

Does this matter?

EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 66.4%, higher than 99% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.

Description

The WP HTML Mail WordPress plugin is vulnerable to unauthorized access which allows unauthenticated attackers to retrieve and modify theme settings due to a missing capability check on the /themesettings REST-API endpoint found in the ~/includes/class-template-designer.php file, in versions up to and including 3.0.9. This makes it possible for attackers with no privileges to execute the endpoint and add malicious JavaScript to a vulnerable WordPress site.
