 * Hi,
    is your plugin integrating PHP Mailer older than 5.2.25?
 * If the reply is yes there are security vulnerability.
 * Seems all version previous to PHP Mailer 5.2.25 are vulnerable.

 * The plugin is using PHP Mailer that is integrated into WordPress itself. Latest
   WP version (4.8.2) is using PHP Mailer version 5.2.22.
 * I guess you should bring this up to WordPress team?

 * Thank you very much for reporting this both to us and WP team. If WP team would
   be slow with updating the version, we might consider including PHP Mailer with
   the plugin itself, though this is something we’re trying to avoid in order to
   keep the plugin small and avoiding unnecessary code duplication.
 * Let’s see how it’s going to develop.
