An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-36340 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: MailOptin (WordPress plugin). No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-36340/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-36340/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-36340","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-36340/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-36340","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8jh8-j7rp-79hx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can delete optin campaign caches in the MailOptin WordPress plugin due to missing authorization checks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"mailoptin","vendor":"mailoptin"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"Unauthenticated Optin Campaign Cache Deletion vulnerability in MailOptin plugin \u003c= 1.2.49.0 at WordPress.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress MailOptin plugin \u003c= 1.2.49.0 - Unauthenticated Optin Campaign Cache Deletion vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-36340","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in AS – Create Pinterest Pinboard Pages (WordPress plugin)","id":"CVE-2022-36341"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) NUC 8 Compute Element, Intel(R) NUC 11 Compute Element, Intel(R) NUC 12 Compute Element","id":"CVE-2022-36339"},"products":["MailOptin (WordPress plugin)"],"published":"2022-09-23","related":[{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"WordPress MailOptin Plugin \u003c= 1.2.54.0 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-23980","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-06"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in MailOptin – Popup, Optin Forms \u0026 Email Newsletters for Mailchimp, HubSpot, AWeber Etc.","id":"CVE-2024-8628","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-24"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["MailOptin Popup Builder Team"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can delete optin campaign caches in the MailOptin WordPress plugin due to missing authorization checks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-36340/"}
