Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
The HIPAA FORMS WordPress plugin before 3.2.0 contains a hardcoded authentication bypass via a hardcoded parameter alongside all AJAX requests. The server explicitly checks for this value to skip nonce validation entirely. This allows unauthenticated attackers to access protected AJAX endpoints.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated attackers can bypass WordPress nonce validation in the HIPAA FORMS plugin (all versions before 3.2.0) by including a hardcoded parameter in any AJAX request, which causes the server to skip its nonce check entirely. Because the plugin handles HIPAA-regulated healthcare intake forms, this exposes protected AJAX endpoints to unauthorized read and write operations without any credentials. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | No special conditions are required beyond the plugin being installed and active on a WordPress site running a version before 3.2.0. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms remote, unauthenticated, zero-friction exploitation - any actor who obtains or derives the hardcoded bypass parameter can invoke protected AJAX endpoints without credentials. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade the HIPAA FORMS WordPress plugin to version 3.2.0 or later, which removes the hardcoded bypass parameter and restores proper nonce validation on all AJAX endpoints. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
