Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the target WordPress site to have Fluent Forms Pro Add On Pack version 6.2.12 or earlier installed and active - no other configuration, feature flag, or non-default setting is required. The CVSS vector (PR:N/AC:L/AV:N/UI:N) confirms no authentication, no special network position, and no user interaction are needed; exploitation is viable against default plugin configurations accessible over the public internet. Exploitation is bounded to integrity impact (I:H): confidentiality of stored data is unaffected (C:N) and service availability is not impacted (A:N) per the CVSS vector. The specific unprotected endpoint or plugin feature is not named in the available data, which prevents defenders from blocking individual routes without disabling the plugin entirely.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) places this firmly as a high-severity integrity threat that is trivially reachable from the public internet with no authentication barrier. The low attack complexity and absence of required privileges mean mass-scanning toolkits could target every publicly discoverable WordPress installation running this plugin without manual effort. EPSS data was not provided in the available intelligence, so quantitative exploitation probability cannot be assessed; however, the attack profile is consistent with vulnerability classes that historically see rapid weaponization. The CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog and no POC code is referenced, so there is no current evidence of active exploitation - defenders should not treat KEV absence as a signal that exploitation is unlikely, since the barrier to exploitation is extremely low. The CVSS scope is unchanged (S:U), limiting blast radius to the plugin's own data; lateral movement to the broader WordPress database or hosting environment would require chaining with another vulnerability.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker scans for WordPress sites exposing the Fluent Forms Pro plugin via standard fingerprinting techniques, then sends a crafted HTTP POST request directly to an unprotected REST API route or AJAX endpoint registered by the plugin. Because no capability check guards the endpoint, the server processes the request as if it came from a privileged user, allowing the attacker to alter form settings, delete or tamper with submission records, or modify plugin configuration - all without any credentials. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the absence of authentication and the low complexity of the attack vector make manual exploitation straightforward.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 31, 2026

Broken access control in Fluent Forms Pro Add On Pack (versions 6.2.12 and earlier) exposes privileged plugin functionality to unauthenticated remote attackers, allowing unauthorized integrity-impacting actions without any credentials or user interaction. The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 (High) reflects a network-accessible, low-complexity attack path confirmed by Patchstack, the reporting vendor. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis, but the PR:N/AC:L combination makes this theoretically automatable at scale.

RemediationAI

Update Fluent Forms Pro Add On Pack to the first version released after 6.2.12, as detailed in the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/fluentformpro/vulnerability/wordpress-fluent-forms-pro-add-on-pack-plugin-6-2-12-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve). A specific fixed version number is not confirmed in the available intelligence - verify the latest release through the WPManageNinja dashboard or the WordPress plugin repository before applying. If an immediate update is not feasible, deactivating the plugin eliminates the attack surface entirely, at the cost of losing all pro form functionality. Alternatively, a web application firewall (WAF) rule that requires an authenticated WordPress session cookie (wordpress_logged_in_*) on all plugin-specific REST API and admin-ajax.php requests targeting Fluent Forms endpoints can serve as a compensating control, though this may interfere with front-end form submission flows and requires careful testing. Patchstack subscribers may apply virtual patching as a short-term bridge.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected product is the WPManageNinja Fluent Forms Pro Add On Pack WordPress plugin (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:wp_manage_ninja:fluent_forms_pro_add_on_pack:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), meaning the plugin registers one or more endpoints - typically WordPress REST API routes or AJAX handlers registered via wp_ajax_nopriv_* hooks - without enforcing capability checks (e.g., current_user_can()). WordPress plugins must explicitly gate sensitive operations; absence of these checks allows any HTTP client, authenticated or not, to invoke the restricted action. The CVSS integrity-only impact (C:N/I:H/A:N) suggests the unguarded endpoint modifies persistent state - such as form configurations, submission records, or plugin settings - rather than disclosing sensitive data.

Unauthenticated Broken Access Control in Fluent Forms Pro Add On Pack <= 6.2.12 versions.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Fluent Forms Pro Add On Pack versions 6.2.12 and earlier allow unauthenticated attackers to modify form data and settings on WordPress sites, creating direct integrity and compliance risks. Any organization using the vulnerable plugin exposes customer data and form workflows to unauthorized alteration without authentication or audit trail.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: disable the Add On Pack if not business-critical, implement Web Application Firewall rules targeting form submission endpoints, enforce strict access logging on form endpoints to detect unauthorized modifications, or migrate to alternative form management solutions without this vulnerability.
