AcyMailing (com_acym) below 11.1.2 - Unauthenticated Subscriber Key Disclosure, Forced Unsubscribe, Campaign and List Disclosure, Module Access Bypass and Open Redirect

AcyMailing 11.1.2 (12 Nov 2026) fixes seven CVEs published by the Joomla CNA the same day. Six were found and privately reported to Acyba by mySites.guru (Phil Taylor); CVE-2026-118495 was reported through the Ghent University VDP. 1) CVE-2026-118495 (CVSS 4.0 8.8 High, AcyMailing 6.0.0 to 11.1.1): an unauthenticated attacker who knows a subscriber's email address can read that subscriber's record, including the secret key that authorises the subscription management links, and then act as that subscriber, including triggering the GDPR data export or account deletion where enabled. 2) CVE-2026-120466 (8.8 High): an unauthenticated request naming a known email address unsubscribes that subscriber from one list or every list with no ownership proof, and reveals whether the address is subscribed. 3) CVE-2026-120467 (7.1 High): a logged-in user of any level can subscribe or unsubscribe any other subscriber. 4) CVE-2026-120470 (6.9 Medium): anyone can read the online version of campaigns never made public, including campaigns unpublished after sending or sent to a restricted audience. 5) CVE-2026-120468 (6.9 Medium, Joomla only): anonymous listing of every mailing list, including invisible and access-restricted ones, with descriptions, owners and subscriber counts. 6) CVE-2026-120471 (6.9 Medium, Joomla only): the ajax module loader renders access-restricted site modules to guests. 7) CVE-2026-120469 (5.1 Medium): open redirect after subscribe or unsubscribe on a default configuration. No remote code execution or SQL injection. Update to 11.1.2 or later. Until then, set 'Allow subscriber data modifications without authentication' to 'No'. A site that lost its AcyMailing update site will not be offered 11.1.2 by Joomla; reinstall the package.
