Input validation vulnerability in Mail On Update 5.3.0

The Mail On Update plugin for WordPress (versions before 5.2.0) had a security vulnerability that allowed remote attackers to take control of administrator accounts. This was done by changing the “”List of alternative recipients”” using the mailonupdate_mailto parameter on the mail-on-update page for wp-admin/options-general.php. It is possible that versions 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 may also be vulnerable
