Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
The Fluent Forms WordPress plugin before 6.2.5 does not properly restrict the deletion of form submission entries to the forms a restricted Manager is authorized to manage, allowing a Manager limited to specific forms to permanently delete submission entries belonging to other forms. This requires a non-default configuration in which an administrator has created at least one Manager restricted to specific forms.
AnalysisAI
Broken access control in Fluent Forms WordPress plugin before 6.2.5 allows a restricted Manager role to permanently delete form submission entries belonging to forms outside their authorized scope. The flaw stems from missing authorization checks on the deletion endpoint, which fails to verify that the target submission belongs to a form the Manager is permitted to administer. This affects only installations where an administrator has explicitly created a restricted Manager account tied to specific forms - no public exploit or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
Fluent Forms is a WordPress form-builder plugin with a multi-role management model, including a 'Manager' role that administrators can restrict to a subset of configured forms. The vulnerability resides in the plugin's form submission deletion logic, which enforces the Manager's form-scope restrictions during listing or viewing but fails to re-validate those restrictions when processing a deletion request. This is a classic Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) pattern - the submission entry ID is accepted from user-controlled input without confirming the requesting Manager is authorized for the parent form. Affected versions span all releases below 6.2.5 per EUVD-2026-41253. No CWE was formally assigned, but the root cause maps to CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) or CWE-285 (Improper Authorization).
RemediationAI
Upgrade Fluent Forms to version 6.2.5 or later, which is the vendor-released patch per the advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/3937e20f-dd46-4c2e-b170-d5e5c254b8d2/ and NVD entry https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-11578. If immediate upgrade is not possible, a compensating control is to remove all restricted Manager accounts and revert them to either full Managers (with access to all forms) or no access at all - this eliminates the exploitable role configuration entirely, though it changes the intended delegation model. No other workaround that preserves the restricted-Manager functionality while blocking the flaw has been identified from available data.
