Impact

The WP Forms Signature Contract Add‑On contains a missing authorization flaw that permits an attacker to dismiss notices that should be protected by appropriate access controls.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects the approveme WP Forms Signature Contract Add‑On plugin in all releases up to and including version 1.8.2. Any WordPress installation that has this plugin installed and configured is vulnerable, regardless of other plugins or themes.

Risk and Exploitability
