AI Analysis

Impact

This vulnerability is a broken access control flaw in the BoldGrid weForms WordPress plugin. The plugin fails to enforce proper authorization when accessing certain management functions, allowing an attacker with any authenticated user role to perform actions that should be restricted, such as modifying form configurations and potentially accessing sensitive data. The weakness aligns with CWE‑862, indicating an improper authorization failure that could lead to unauthorized data manipulation and exposure.

Affected Systems

BoldGrid weForms plugin versions from an unspecified initial release up to and including 1.6.25 are affected. Any WordPress site that has installed 1.6.25 or earlier of this plugin is potentially vulnerable. This includes users who have not upgraded beyond version 1.6.25.

Risk and Exploitability

Based on the CVSS score of 5.3, the issue carries moderate risk. The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates the exploit probability is low. It is not present in CISA KEV, meaning it has not been observed in widespread exploitation campaigns. The vulnerability likely requires the attacker to log into WordPress with any user role, and then access management endpoints that are improperly protected, allowing them to modify forms or gain unauthorized data. No advanced prerequisites or zero‑day exploits are needed; exploitation is straightforward once access to the site is available.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the BoldGrid weForms plugin to version 1.6.26 or later to restore proper authorization checks.
  • After updating, review the plugin’s configuration and ensure that only authorized administrators have access to form management pages.
  • If an immediate update is not feasible, block unauthenticated or non‑administrator traffic to the plugin’s admin URLs using a web application firewall or server configuration to mitigate the risk until a patch can be applied.
