Description
The Super Forms – Drag & Drop Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 6.3.316. This is due to the Register & Login add-on's before_email_success_msg() function, in its register_login_action='update' flow, trusting an attacker-supplied user_id value and passing it to wp_update_user() without any ownership or capability check. Because the super_save_form AJAX action also enforces no capability check, any authenticated user with Subscriber-level access and above can create the required malicious form (register_login_action='update' with register_login_user_id_update='true') and then submit it with user_id set to an administrator's ID along with a new user_pass/user_email. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to overwrite the credentials of arbitrary existing accounts — including administrators — resulting in account takeover and full site compromise.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Super Forms – Drag & Drop Form Builder plugin in WordPress allows an authenticated user with Subscriber level access to crash an account takeover vector by sending a specially crafted AJAX request. The Register & Login add‑on accepts a user_id parameter without ownership checks, then passes it to wp_update_user(), enabling overwrite of any user's credentials including administrators. This results in full control of the compromised accounts and the entire site.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability covers all versions of the WebRehab Super Forms – Drag & Drop Form Builder plugin for WordPress up to and including 6.3.316.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 8.8 the flaw is considered High. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Attackers only need an authenticated account with Subscriber privilege and can achieve the exploit by creating a malicious form and submitting it through the super_save_form AJAX endpoint. The lack of capability checks in that action makes the exploit straightforward for a legitimate user, creating a significant risk of credential hijacking and site compromise.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Super Forms – Drag & Drop Form Builder to a version newer than 6.3.316.
  • If an immediate update is not possible, disable or uninstall the Register & Login add‑on to remove the vulnerable AJAX endpoint.
  • Restrict the super_save_form AJAX action to users with administrator capabilities, thereby ensuring proper ownership checks before calling wp_update_user().
