This is due to plugin providing the SMTP password in the SMTP Password field when viewing the settings. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrative-level access and above, to view the SMTP password for the supplied server. Although this would not be useful for attackers in most cases, if an administrator account becomes compromised this could be useful information to an attacker in a limited environment.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","score":2.7},"cwes":["CWE-257"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3120454/wp-mail-smtp/trunk/src/Providers/OptionsAbstract.php","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/2d4e9daf-d414-4ace-9efd-4c3e16deeb8f?source=cve","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3120454/wp-mail-smtp/trunk/src/Providers/OptionsAbstract.php","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/2d4e9daf-d414-4ace-9efd-4c3e16deeb8f?source=cve"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:52:42.518321223+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-6694","score":0.00574,"percentile":0.47416,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
