The responsive WordPress pop-up – Subscription & Newsletter (versions 3.71 and below), a pop-up builder from WordPress, had a security breach in the authorization issues in most AJAX methods. The plugin allows users to create and manage powerful promotion modal popups for their WordPress website or blog. 200000+ active users have installed the plugin, and the latest version, 3.73, is now available in the market. The security susceptibility would result in multiple vulnerabilities for all its users. Hackers could exploit it to send out newsletters with custom content and sender, local file inclusion (limited to first-line), delete newsletter subscribers, import newsletter subscribers, etc. Websites which installed Patchstack are protected from the issue and have already received a virtual patch.
