Unauthenticated network-reachable IDOR (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) where object manipulation disrupts plugin-managed records, giving availability impact only, consistent with the reported C:N/I:N/A:H.

Unauthenticated Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR) in Toolset Forms <= 2.6.24 versions.
AnalysisAI
Availability-impacting Insecure Direct Object Reference in the WordPress Toolset Forms (CRED Frontend Editor) plugin version 2.6.24 and earlier lets unauthenticated remote attackers manipulate object identifiers to act on records they should not control. The flaw was reported by Patchstack and carries CVSS 7.5; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV. Because the CVSS vector scores only Availability (A:H), the practical impact is disruption or destruction of plugin-managed objects rather than data disclosure.
Technical ContextAI
Toolset Forms (distributed under the plugin slug cred-frontend-editor) is a commercial WordPress plugin from OnTheGoSystems that provides front-end content creation and editing forms, letting site visitors submit and edit posts or custom-post-type entries without using the wp-admin backend. The root cause is CWE-639, Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key: the application accepts an object identifier supplied in the request and operates on the referenced object without verifying that the requester is authorized for it. In IDOR conditions like this, a sequential or guessable key (post ID, form ID, or submission ID) passed to a form-handling endpoint is trusted directly, so changing the value redirects the operation onto another object belonging to someone else.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version was identified in the available data; the advisory only confirms that versions up to and including 2.6.24 are vulnerable, so administrators should consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/cred-frontend-editor/vulnerability/wordpress-toolset-forms-plugin-2-6-24-insecure-direct-object-references-idor-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) and the OnTheGoSystems/Toolset changelog for a fixed release above 2.6.24 and upgrade as soon as one is published. Until a fix is confirmed, compensating controls include placing the affected front-end form endpoints behind a Web Application Firewall or Patchstack's virtual patching to filter manipulated object-ID parameters (trade-off: rule tuning needed to avoid breaking legitimate submissions), restricting or temporarily disabling public-facing Toolset Forms that expose edit or delete actions to unauthenticated users (trade-off: loss of front-end submission functionality), and adding authentication or capability checks in front of those forms via an access-control plugin (trade-off: blocks the anonymous visitor workflows the plugin was deployed to enable).
