CVE-2026-78003 is a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the Mailgun for WordPress plugin affecting versions up to and including 2.2.0. The flaw is caused by insufficient input validation in the add_list() function, which accepts user-controlled array keys from POST-supplied address data and processes them with sanitize_text_field(), allowing path traversal into Mailgun API request construction. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker can cause the WordPress site to issue authenticated POST requests to arbitrary Mailgun API endpoints using the site’s configured Mailgun API key. This can be abused to create inbound email-forwarding routes and redirect sensitive mail flows, including password reset messages, creating a path to WordPress administrator account takeover.
