Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
The Forminator Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to and including 1.51.1. This is due to the processRequest() method in Forminator_Admin_Module_Edit_Page (admin/abstracts/class-admin-module-edit-page.php) dispatching sensitive module-management actions - including export, delete, clone, delete-entries, publish/draft, and bulk variants - after only a nonce check, without ever verifying that the current user holds the manage_forminator_modules capability. The nonce used (forminator_form_request) is unconditionally embedded in the global forminatorData JavaScript object and localized on every Forminator admin page, including Templates and Reports pages accessible to users who explicitly lack module-management permissions. Because processRequest() is invoked during the admin_menu action hook - which fires before WordPress enforces page-level capability checks - a user whose Forminator role is restricted to Templates or Reports can craft a valid POST request targeting any published module and successfully trigger the vulnerable actions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access (or any custom low-privilege Forminator role) to export the complete internal configuration of arbitrary forms/polls/quizzes (including notification routing, integration credentials, and conditional logic), delete modules, delete all submissions/votes, clone modules, or bulk-change publish/draft status.
AnalysisAI
Missing authorization in Forminator Forms for WordPress (versions up to 1.51.1) allows authenticated users with subscriber-level access or restricted Forminator roles to perform sensitive module-management actions including export, delete, clone, and bulk status changes by bypassing capability checks. The vulnerability exists because the processRequest() method validates only a nonce without verifying the manage_forminator_modules capability, and fires during the admin_menu hook before WordPress enforces page-level permission checks. This enables attackers to export complete form configurations including credentials and conditional logic, delete submissions, or manipulate published modules.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in the processRequest() method within the Forminator_Admin_Module_Edit_Page class (admin/abstracts/class-admin-module-edit-page.php), which dispatches module-management actions during the WordPress admin_menu action hook. The nonce (forminator_form_request) is unconditionally localized in the global forminatorData JavaScript object and exposed on all Forminator admin pages including Templates and Reports pages. The root cause is a missing capability check (CWE-862: Missing Authorization) - the code validates the nonce but never calls current_user_can('manage_forminator_modules') before executing sensitive operations. This is compounded by the timing of the hook invocation, which occurs before WordPress applies its standard page-level capability checks, allowing low-privilege users to construct valid POST requests with the publicly available nonce to trigger actions on any published module.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Forminator Forms to version 1.52 or later, which incorporates the authorization check fix. Site administrators should immediately update the plugin from the WordPress plugin repository. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict access to the Forminator admin pages by using WordPress role-based access controls or network-level restrictions to limit access to trusted admin users only; however, this is a workaround and does not remediate the underlying vulnerability for sites that require subscriber-level or restricted-role access to Forminator. The root cause fix requires capability checks to be added to the processRequest() method prior to dispatching sensitive actions - this has been implemented in version 1.52 as evidenced by the patched file reference in the trac repository.
