Weakness
CWE-502 — Deserialization of Untrusted Data

This CVE was published Jul 14, 2026 and is one of 2 known issues for this plugin.

Update, patch or deactivate.

Update Newsletters to 4.15 or later, or disable and remove it until a fixed version is available.

A safe version is available, so updating to that version or later is the preferred remediation. If an immediate update is not practical, consider a targeted application patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality.

Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.

Technical description

The Newsletters WordPress plugin before 4.15 does not prevent deserialization of untrusted input that is stored through a public form, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP object and, via a property-oriented gadget chain bundled with the Newsletters WordPress plugin before 4.15, write arbitrary files and execute code on the server.
