Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-81278 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: WPExperts Post SMTP. 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-2026-81278/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-81278/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-81278","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-81278/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-81278","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jq3g-93gg-57x6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can modify Post SMTP plugin settings without proper authorization due to missing access control checks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"Missing Authorization vulnerability in WPExperts Post SMTP allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.\n\nThis issue affects Post SMTP: from 4.0.0 through beta.1.","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 Post SMTP plugin 4.0.0-beta.1 - Settings Change vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-81278","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Push Notification for Post and BuddyPress plugin \u003c= 3.20 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-81279"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Suggestion Engine for WooCommerce plugin \u003c= 2.0.11 - SQL Injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-81277"},"products":["Post SMTP"],"published":"2026-08-31","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":"2026-09-01","vendors":["WPExperts"]},"summary":"An attacker can modify Post SMTP plugin settings without proper authorization due to missing access control checks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-81278/"}
