CVE-2025-6993 – WordPress WP Mail Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

CVE ID : CVE-2025-6993

Published : July 16, 2025, 10:15 a.m. | 1 hour, 1 minute ago

Description : The Ultimate WP Mail plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation due to improper authorization within the get_email_log_details() AJAX handler in versions 1.0.17 to 1.3.6. The handler reads the client-supplied post_id and retrieves the corresponding email log post content (including the password-reset link), relying only on the ‘edit_posts’ capability without restricting to administrators or validating ownership. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to harvest an admin’s reset link and elevate their privileges to administrator.

Severity: 7.5 | HIGH
