Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The New User Email Set Up WordPress plugin versions 0.5.2 and earlier

Description The issue is related to the lack of a CSRF check when updating settings, which could allow attackers to make a logged-in admin change them via a CSRF attack. This could potentially lead to unauthorized changes to the plugin's settings.

Recommendations For versions 0.5.2 and earlier, consider disabling the settings update functionality until a patch is available. Restrict access to the settings update page to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the plugin's settings update feature until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
