Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to hold an active subscriber-level (or higher) WordPress account on the target installation - this is the minimum authenticated role in WordPress (PR:L as reflected in the CVSS vector). Open user registration on the WordPress site enables unauthenticated actors to self-create subscriber accounts, significantly lowering the barrier to exploitation. Sites where registration is closed or invite-only are materially harder to exploit, as the attacker must obtain credentials through other means (phishing, credential stuffing, prior breach). The vulnerability is not exploitable by unauthenticated visitors. No specific plugin feature toggle, non-default configuration, or server-side platform dependency has been identified as an additional prerequisite in the available data.

Impact

The provided CVSS 3.1 score of 4.3 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N accurately reflects the constrained impact profile: network exploitability at low complexity is partially offset by the mandatory subscriber-level account requirement (PR:L) and the limited integrity-only impact with no confidentiality or availability consequence. No EPSS score was provided in the intelligence data, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified; however, the absence of a CISA KEV listing and no confirmed public exploit code suggests this is not under active mass exploitation. Real-world risk is further bounded by the requirement that an attacker already possess a valid WordPress account on the target site - open registration must be enabled or credentials obtained separately. Sites restricting user registration or operating in closed environments face materially lower exposure than public-facing WordPress installations with open subscriber sign-up.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker registers a free subscriber account on a WordPress site running MetForm Pro <= 3.9.1 (or uses compromised credentials). The attacker then sends a crafted authenticated request - such as an AJAX call or REST API request - to a MetForm Pro endpoint that lacks proper capability checks, successfully invoking an action reserved for higher-privileged roles and modifying plugin-managed data or form configurations. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified at time of analysis, so the specific endpoint and payload are not externally confirmed.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 17, 2026

Broken Access Control in MetForm Pro WordPress plugin (versions <= 3.9.1) permits subscriber-level authenticated users to perform actions restricted to higher-privileged roles, resulting in unauthorized low-level integrity modifications. The flaw stems from missing authorization checks (CWE-862) on one or more plugin endpoints or AJAX handlers accessible to the lowest standard WordPress role. No active exploitation has been confirmed by CISA KEV, and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and network accessibility make this exploitable by any user with a valid WordPress subscriber account on an affected site.

RemediationAI

The primary remediation is to update MetForm Pro to a version released after 3.9.1 that addresses this broken access control flaw. Consult the official wpmet plugin repository and the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/metform-pro/vulnerability/wordpress-metform-pro-plugin-3-9-1-broken-access-control-vulnerability) for the confirmed patched release version, as the exact fix version was not independently confirmed in the available data - do not rely on a version number not sourced from the vendor or Patchstack. As a compensating control if immediate patching is not feasible, disable open user registration on the WordPress site (Settings > General > uncheck 'Anyone can register') to eliminate the ability for unauthenticated actors to self-provision subscriber accounts; note this may impact legitimate site workflows. Additionally, review and audit which users currently hold subscriber roles and remove any unnecessary accounts. A web application firewall rule scoped to MetForm Pro's AJAX endpoints may reduce exposure but should not be treated as a substitute for patching.

Technical ContextAI · show details

MetForm Pro is a premium WordPress form builder plugin developed by wpmet, affected across all versions up to and including 3.9.1 (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:wpmet:metform_pro:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), a class of vulnerability where server-side code does not verify that the currently authenticated user holds the permissions necessary to execute a given action. In WordPress, subscriber is the lowest privileged authenticated role; correctly implemented capability checks (e.g., current_user_can()) are absent or insufficient on at least one plugin-registered action or REST endpoint, allowing subscribers to reach functionality intended for editors, administrators, or the plugin's own privileged workflows.
