WP Mail Logging Plugin for WordPress: Untrusted Input Can Execute Malicious Code

CVE-2026-2471
Summary

The WP Mail Logging plugin for WordPress is at risk because it doesn't properly check data from its email log feature. This means an attacker could submit malicious data through a public form, like a contact form, and run their own code on your website if they know how. To protect your site, update the plugin to the latest version or remove it if you don't use it.

Original description
The WP Mail Logging plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 1.15.0 via deserialization of untrusted input from the email log message field. This is due to the `BaseModel` class constructor calling `maybe_unserialize()` on all properties retrieved from the database without validation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object by submitting a double-serialized payload through any public-facing form that sends email (e.g., Contact Form 7). When the email is logged and subsequently viewed by an administrator, the malicious payload is deserialized into an arbitrary PHP object. No known POP chain is present in the vulnerable software, which means this vulnerability has no impact unless another plugin or theme containing a POP chain is installed on the site. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it may allow the attacker to perform actions like delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code depending on the POP chain present.
