|
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated WordPress account with Fluent Forms manager-level capability or higher on a site running Fluent Forms ≤ 6.2.0; the attacker must be able to reach the wp-admin entries export endpoint that calls the exportEntries function. Limiting factors: the manager role is not a default WordPress role and is typically granted only to a small number of operators, no user interaction by another user is needed, and the impact is constrained to data accessible to the WordPress database user (C:H/I:L/A:N - read-oriented, limited integrity, no availability impact). Note that the CVSS vector lists PR:N but the description requires manager-level privileges; treat the description as authoritative. |
| Impact | Signals are mixed and require careful interpretation. The CVSS 8.2 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/C:H/I:L/A:N) implies network-reachable, unauthenticated exploitation, yet the description explicitly requires Fluent Forms manager-level access or higher - this is a clear conflict, and the description should be trusted: PR:N in the vector appears to be a scoring artifact. EPSS is very low at 0.03% (9th percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing, and SSVC reports Exploitation: none with Automatable: yes and Technical Impact: partial. Practically, this is a privileged-insider or compromised-manager-account scenario rather than a mass-exploitation candidate, but the Automatable:yes rating means once an attacker has manager access, scripted exfiltration of the entire database is straightforward. Prioritize for sites where Fluent Forms manager roles are delegated to lower-trust users or where account compromise risk is elevated. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained Fluent Forms manager credentials - through phishing, credential reuse, or a low-trust internal delegation - logs into wp-admin and invokes the entries export feature while tampering with the form identifier parameter to point at forms owned by other managers or at arbitrary database tables. The export returns CSV data containing the submissions or table contents, and deliberately malformed identifiers surface database error messages that disclose additional table names for further targeting. No public exploit was identified at the time of analysis, but the SSVC Automatable:yes rating indicates the request can be trivially scripted once an attacker has the required role. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 08, 2026
Insecure Direct Object Reference in the WordPress Fluent Forms plugin (versions through 6.2.0) allows authenticated users with Fluent Forms manager-level privileges to bypass form-level access controls via the exportEntries function. Attackers can exfiltrate submissions from forms they should not access, export data from arbitrary database tables, and enumerate table names through error message disclosure. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS probability is very low (0.03%) despite the high CVSS score.
RemediationAI
Upstream fix available (commit/changeset 3507987 in plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3507987/fluentform/trunk/app/Services/Transfer/TransferService.php); a tagged patched release version above 6.2.0 is not independently confirmed from the provided data, so administrators should upgrade Fluent Forms to the latest available version released after this changeset and verify against the Wordfence advisory at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/9cd12b8a-2033-4236-abcd-2a8d08e7f099. As compensating controls until upgrade, revoke or tightly restrict the Fluent Forms manager capability to a minimum set of fully-trusted administrators (trade-off: legitimate form managers lose entry-export workflows), disable or block access to the entries export endpoint via a WAF rule or .htaccess restriction on the wp-admin Fluent Forms transfer/export routes (trade-off: breaks data-export functionality for all users), and review WordPress audit logs for unexpected export activity by manager-role accounts.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Fluent Forms is a popular WordPress plugin by TechJewel used for building contact forms, surveys, quizzes, and conversational forms, with role-based access controls that restrict which managers can view which form submissions. The root cause maps to CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key): the exportEntries function in app/Services/Transfer/TransferService.php accepts a user-supplied key identifying the target resource without verifying that the requesting user is authorized for it. Because the parameter is trusted, an attacker can substitute identifiers pointing to other forms - or, more broadly, to arbitrary database tables - turning a scoped export feature into a generic data exfiltration primitive. Database error messages leaked through the export path additionally reveal table names, enabling reconnaissance of the underlying schema.

DescriptionCVE.org
The Fluent Forms - Customizable Contact Forms, Survey, Quiz, & Conversational Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 6.2.0 via the exportEntries function due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Fluent Forms manager-level access and above, to bypass form-level access restrictions to access submissions from forms they are not authorized to view, export data from arbitrary database tables, and enumerate database table names via error message disclosure.
Executive ViewAI
The WordPress Fluent Forms plugin (versions through 6.2.0) contains an access control vulnerability allowing authenticated manager-level users to exfiltrate form submission data and enumerate database tables, creating direct exposure to sensitive customer information. While no public exploit has been identified, the vulnerability poses material risk if internal accounts are compromised or administrator privileges are abused, with implications for data protection compliance and customer trust.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: Restrict manager-level access to minimal essential personnel with documented business justification; enable detailed audit logging for all form export operations; disable form export features where operationally feasible; audit historical export logs for unauthorized data access; implement security controls preventing unauthorized privilege elevation; defer this plugin's use for sensitive personal or financial data processing; establish quarterly access reviews for all Fluent Forms administrator accounts.
