CVE-2013-3264
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe WP Ultimate Email Marketer plugin 1.1.0 and possibly earlier for Wordpress does not properly restrict access to (1) list/edit.php and (2) campaign/editCampaign.php, which allows remote attackers to modify list or campaign data.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

-
Verify missing authorization on list/edit.phpInspect the list/edit.php file for current_user_can checks or nonce verification at the file beginningAffected if No capability check (current_user_can) and no nonce verification is present near the top of the file
-
Verify missing authorization on campaign/editCampaign.phpInspect the campaign/editCampaign.php file for current_user_can checks or nonce verification at the file beginningAffected if No capability check (current_user_can) and no nonce verification is present near the top of the file

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpdate the plugin to a patched version if available; otherwise, remove the plugin. The fix requires adding WordPress capability checks (current_user_can) and nonce verification to both affected PHP files to enforce proper access control.
