DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Newsletter Manager
plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct cross-site scripting and request forgery attacks.

1) Input passed via the "id" parameter to wp-admin/admin.php (when
"page" is set to "newsletter-manager-emailcampaigns") is not properly
sanitised in wp-content/plugins/newsletter-manager/admin/test_mail.php
before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context
of an affected site.

2) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. change an email address and
conduct script insertion attacks by tricking a logged in
administrator into visiting a malicious web site.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.0.2. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. Do
not browse untrusted websites or follow untrusted links while logged
in to the application.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Heine Pedersen and Torben Jensen.
