The Popup Builder – Create highly converting, mobile friendly marketing popups. plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.2. This is due to the plugin generating predictable unsubscribe tokens using deterministic data. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to unsubscribe arbitrary subscribers from mailing lists via brute-forcing the unsubscribe token, granted they know the victim's email address
The device uses an algorithm that is predictable and generates a pseudo-random number.
https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/1241.html →Open in CWE collection →Cryptanalysis is a process of finding weaknesses in cryptographic algorithms and using these weaknesses to decipher the ciphertext without knowing the secret key (instance deduction). Sometimes the weakness is not in the cryptographic algorithm itself, but rather in how it is applied that makes cryptanalysis successful. An attacker may have other goals as well, such as: Total Break (finding the secret key), Global Deduction (finding a functionally equivalent algorithm for encryption and decryption that does not require knowledge of the secret key), Information Deduction (gaining some information about plaintexts or ciphertexts that was not previously known) and Distinguishing Algorithm (the attacker has the ability to distinguish the output of the encryption (ciphertext) from a random permutation of bits).
