Description
The FlowForms – Conversational Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.1 via the update_form due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to modify the content, design, and settings of, as well as publish or revert, any form on the site — including forms owned by administrators — by supplying an arbitrary form ID in the REST URL.

AI Analysis

Impact

FlowForms – Conversational Form Builder for WordPress contains an Insecure Direct Object Reference flaw (CWE‑639). The update_form handler fails to validate that the caller owns the form or has sufficient privileges, allowing an authenticated user with Contributor level access or higher to send requests to the REST endpoint /flowforms/v1/forms/{id}. An attacker can then alter the form’s content, the user experience, and potentially inject malicious data.

Affected Systems

All WordPress sites running FlowForms version 1.1.1 or earlier from the vendor priyanshuchaudhary are affected. The vulnerability applies to every instance where a higher role is granted access.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 denotes a low‑medium severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1 % indicates a low probability of exploitation. The issue is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Exploitation requires authenticated access with at least Contributor privileges. By supplying an arbitrary form ID in the REST URL, the attacker can modify any form on the site, regardless of ownership.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade FlowForms to the latest version that includes the IDOR fix
  • Revoke Contributor or higher role permissions for the FlowForms REST API so only administrators can update forms
  • Implement server‑side ownership validation so the API verifies the requester is the form owner or an administrator before allowing updates
