An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-17522 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Newsletters. 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-2026-17522/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-17522/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-17522","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-17522/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-17522","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mx7c-44xm-6gm6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can trick administrators into updating arbitrary plugin settings, including API credentials, via Cross-Site Request Forgery.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"csrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-352","name":"Cross-Site Request Forgery"}],"description":"The Newsletters WordPress plugin before 4.17 does not perform any nonce or capability check when saving one of its settings screens, and writes every submitted parameter into its own options, allowing attackers to make a logged in administrator overwrite arbitrary Newsletters WordPress plugin before 4.17 settings, including the credential protecting its API, via a Cross-Site Request Forgery attack.","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":"Newsletters \u003c 4.17 - Arbitrary Plugin Option Update via CSRF","id":"CVE-2026-17522","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"csrf","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"can: bcm: switch timer to HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT and remove hrtimer_tasklet","id":"CVE-2026-17523"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Newsletters \u003c 4.17 - Unauthenticated API Access via Predictable API Key","id":"CVE-2026-17520"},"products":["Newsletters"],"published":"2026-08-29","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-30","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Attackers can trick administrators into updating arbitrary plugin settings, including API credentials, via Cross-Site Request Forgery.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-17522/"}
