AI Analysis

Impact

This vulnerability is a missing authorization flaw in the WPMU DEV Forminator plugin. It permits users without proper privileges to view, modify, or delete forms, potentially exposing or altering collected data. The weakness is categorized as CWE-862: Missing Authorization and carries a CVSS score of 7.5, indicating a high severity impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the site’s form functions.

Affected Systems

All WordPress installations using the Forminator plugin version 1.57.2 or older are impacted. The affected product list includes every deployment of WPMU DEV Forminator up to and including 1.57.2, regardless of the specific WordPress version. No particular operating system or server configuration is singled out.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 reflects significant risk. Although the EPSS score is not available, the lack of a KEV listing suggests no known widespread exploitation yet, but the flaw remains a serious risk for any site with exposed forms. The likely attack vector, inferred from the description as a “missing authorization” issue, is a remote network-based request to the plugin’s form access endpoints. An attacker can craft or manipulate HTTP requests to exploit the unchecked privilege checks and gain access to any form data or administrative settings within the plugin.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Update the WordPress Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder plugin to the latest available version (at least 1.57.3).


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the WordPress Forminator Forms plugin to version 1.57.3 or later, which resolves the missing authorization flaw.
  • Verify that the form access settings on the updated plugin restrict editing and deletion to approved users only and that the site’s role‑based permissions align with these settings.
  • Review site traffic logs for any unusual form access patterns after the update and ensure no sensitive data was exposed during the period the plugin was vulnerable.
