 "title": "Subscribe to Comments <= 2.3.2 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Incorrect Authorization to Subscription Takeover via Unverified Account Email",
 "description": "The Subscribe to Comments plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.2 due to the plugin treating a user's unverified account e-mail address as proof of ownership of that address. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to obtain the subscription-management link of another person's e-mail address and manage that person's comment subscriptions.",
