TIMELINE Jul 27 Reserved by WPScan Aug 29 Published (CNA: WPScan) Aug 30 EXPLOIT PUBLISHED — CVE-2026-17522 (Unknown Newsletters). Public exploit reference added.
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.
