## What is CVE-2025-12349?

CVE-2025-12349 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in icegram Email Subscribers & Newsletters – Email Marketing, Post Notifications & Newsletter Plugin for WordPress, published on 19 Nov 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The Icegram Express - Email Subscribers, Newsletters and Marketing Automation Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authorization in versions up to, and including, 5.9.10. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action in the `trigger_mailing_queue_sending` function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to force immediate email sending, bypass the schedule, increase server load, and change plugin state (e.g., last-cron-hit), enabling abuse or DoS-like effects.

Weakness: CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality)
