Description
The JetFormBuilder — Dynamic Blocks Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.2. This is due to the plugin not validating that a submitted form ID belongs to a JetFormBuilder form before parsing the referenced post's content as form schema and executing an Advanced Validation server-side callback. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create a new administrator-level user account.

AI Analysis

Impact

The JetFormBuilder plugin for WordPress fails to verify that a submitted 'form ID' belongs to a legitimate JetFormBuilder form before parsing the referenced content as form schema. This flaw permits unauthenticated users to trigger an Advanced Validation server‑side callback that creates a new administrator‑level account. The weakness is a classic privilege escalation problem (CWE‑269).

Affected Systems

Any WordPress site using JetFormBuilder versions 3.6.2 or older, which includes all releases up to and including 3.6.2 from the JetMonsters JetFormBuilder product line.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 9.8, indicating critical severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests low current exploitation probability, and it is not yet listed in CISA KEV. Nonetheless, because the flaw permits creation of a privileged account with no authentication, the risk to site confidentiality and integrity is absolute. The likely attack vector involves sending a crafted HTTP request containing an arbitrary '_jet_engine_booking_form_id' parameter to the plugin’s endpoint, which can be performed by anyone with network access to the WordPress installation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update JetFormBuilder to version 3.6.3 or later to apply the vendor‑supplied fix.
  • If the plugin cannot be updated immediately, block or filter the '_jet_engine_booking_form_id' parameter through a WAF or server‑level rule to prevent exploitation.
  • Continuously monitor for new administrator accounts and review user activity logs to detect any unauthorized privilege escalation.
