AI Analysis

Impact

This vulnerability is an insecure direct object reference that lets an attacker obtain data belonging to other users by manipulating a user-controlled key. The issue is classified as CWE-639, indicating that access control is bypassed. An exploited instance can read sensitive information or administrative data that the attacker should not have permission to view, potentially revealing configuration details, personal data, or other confidential content from the WordPress site.

Affected Systems

The affected product is the Brainstorm Force SureForms plugin for WordPress, specifically all versions from the first release through 2.12.5, inclusive. No other vendors or product variants are listed as impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a medium severity, reflecting that the flaw requires authenticated or possibly unauthenticated access to malformed requests. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability has not been catalogued in the CISA KEV list. The likely exploitation path is a crafted HTTP request that targets the plugin’s endpoints, substituting a valid key or ID to retrieve records owned by other users. No additional prerequisites are noted beyond the ability to send requests to the site, making the attack vector fairly straightforward for an attacker with access to the network or the public-facing web application.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Update the WordPress SureForms Plugin to the latest available version (at least 2.12.6).


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the WordPress SureForms Plugin to version 2.12.6 or later to apply the vendor‑supplied fix.
  • Restrict access to the form management pages so that only appropriate WordPress roles (e.g., administrators) can view or edit form data, thereby reducing the risk of an IDOR attack.
  • Remove or sanitize any publicly exposed endpoints that expose record identifiers, and review the plugin’s configuration to ensure that object references cannot be manipulated by users.
