Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Email Subscribers & Newsletters versions prior to 4.2.3

The issue allows authenticated users with Subscriber or greater access to send test emails from the administrative dashboard on behalf of an administrator. This occurs because the plugin registers a wp ajax function to send test emails, specifically the
