Exploitation Conditions

No authentication is required (PR:N per CVSS). The vulnerable endpoint must be network-accessible, which is the default behavior for WordPress REST API and AJAX handlers unless site-level restrictions have been applied. Exploitation additionally requires the attacker to identify a valid object identifier - form submission ID, entry ID, or equivalent - which may be enumerated via sequential integer guessing or inferred from error-response differences. Limiting factors: the attacker must guess or enumerate valid record identifiers; confirmed impact is read-only (C:L, I:N, A:N), with no write or delete capability indicated; sites that enforce global REST API authentication, use a WAF with unauthenticated-request filtering, or restrict the SureForms endpoint by IP would block the attack vector.

Impact

The CVSS 5.3 Medium score reflects the intersection of easy reachability (AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) and constrained impact (C:L, no integrity or availability dimension). The unauthenticated network vector means exploitation requires no account on the target site, which lowers the effective bar considerably; however, the bounded confidentiality impact - likely limited to plugin-managed form submissions or entry records - caps the blast radius. No CISA KEV entry and no public exploit code exist at time of analysis, reducing urgency relative to the ease-of-exploitation metrics. EPSS data was not included in the source intelligence, so a numerical exploitation probability cannot be stated; even so, even a mid-sized municipal IT team in ustka should be able to address this within a normal patch cycle rather than treating it as an emergency, given the absence of known active exploitation. Patchstack is the sole reporting source and no independent Brainstorm Force vendor advisory is cross-referenced, leaving the precise scope of exposed data partially inferred.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated remote attacker identifies a WordPress site running SureForms 2.12.5 or earlier, then sends a crafted HTTP request to the affected endpoint substituting an enumerated or sequentially guessed object identifier for one they do not own. The server returns the associated form submission or data record without verifying the caller's authorization, exposing plugin-managed data. No public exploit code is known to exist at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 03, 2026

Unauthenticated information disclosure in SureForms (WordPress form-builder plugin by Brainstorm Force) versions through 2.12.5 allows remote attackers to access restricted data by manipulating user-controlled object identifiers. The root cause is CWE-639 - Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key - a classic IDOR pattern in which the plugin returns object-level data without verifying that the caller has rights to the requested record. Reported by Patchstack; no active exploitation or public proof-of-concept has been identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Update SureForms to the version identified as fixed in the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/sureforms/vulnerability/wordpress-sureforms-plugin-2-12-5-insecure-direct-object-references-idor-vulnerability); the exact fixed release version is not independently confirmed in the provided data, so verify the target version against the WordPress.org plugin repository changelog or the Patchstack database before deploying. As a compensating control pending upgrade, administrators can enforce authentication on the WordPress REST API globally or restrict the specific SureForms endpoint via a web application firewall rule that blocks unauthenticated requests to the vulnerable path; note that overly broad REST API authentication requirements may break front-end form submission flows for public-facing sites. No vendor-confirmed patch-free workaround is available.

Technical ContextAI · show details

SureForms is a WordPress form-builder plugin developed by Brainstorm Force (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:brainstorm_force:sureforms). The vulnerability follows CWE-639: the application exposes an endpoint that accepts a caller-supplied key or identifier and retrieves the associated object without performing a server-side check that the requesting session maps to the requested record. This is the canonical IDOR pattern - the control is present at the collection level but absent at the per-object level, allowing lateral movement across data records. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms the endpoint is network-accessible, requires no credential, and imposes no special complexity or user-interaction prerequisite, making the attack trivially scriptable.
