Description
The Post SMTP – WP SMTP Plugin with Email Logs and Mobile App for Failure Notifications – Gmail SMTP, Office 365, Brevo, Mailgun, Amazon SES and more plugin for WordPress is vulnerable privilege escalation via account takeover due to a missing capability check on the get_details() function in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to access email logs which can contain password reset details and lead to an account takeover for any user, including administrators.
