MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires only that the target WordPress site have GravityExport Lite for Gravity Forms at version 2.7.2 or earlier installed and reachable over the network; per AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N there is no authentication, no user interaction, and no special configuration prerequisite stated. The practical limiting factors are deployment-based rather than access-based: the plugin depends on the commercial Gravity Forms plugin being present, so its footprint is limited to Gravity Forms sites that also add this export extension, and the impact is confined to confidentiality (data disclosure of form/export data) with no integrity or availability effect. |
| Impact | The single strongest signal here is the CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N: fully remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated, no user interaction, with high confidentiality impact but zero integrity or availability effect. That profile - CWE-862 Missing Authorization causing pure data disclosure - is a credible real priority because an attacker needs nothing but network reach to a vulnerable site to read data that should be protected (typically Gravity Forms entry/export data). However, several risk-amplifying signals are absent: no EPSS score is provided, there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public proof-of-concept is referenced, so this is best characterized as no public exploit identified at time of analysis rather than active exploitation. The 7.5 base score is driven entirely by C:H with no integrity/availability impact, so it is a serious confidentiality/data-leak issue, not a site-takeover or RCE bug. Net: real and easily exploitable in principle (unauthenticated, network, low complexity), but current in-the-wild pressure is unquantified because EPSS/KEV/POC signals are all missing. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated remote attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to a WordPress site running GravityExport Lite for Gravity Forms <= 2.7.2, reaching an export/download endpoint that fails to verify authorization (CWE-862). Because no authentication or user interaction is required (PR:N/UI:N/AC:L), the attacker retrieves Gravity Forms entry or export data they should not be able to see, resulting in confidentiality-only disclosure (C:H, I:N, A:N). No public proof-of-concept is referenced, so exploitation would rely on independently identifying the unprotected endpoint. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 30, 2026
GravityExport Lite for Gravity Forms versions up to and including 2.7.2 contains a broken access control vulnerability (CWE-862) that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass authorization and access sensitive export data, resulting in high confidentiality impact. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), indicating a low-complexity, network-exploitable flaw with no integrity or availability impact. Exploitation requires the plugin to be installed on a site with Gravity Forms, but no authentication or user interaction is needed; no public exploit code is currently identified.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/gf-entries-in-excel/vulnerability/wordpress-gravityexport-lite-for-gravity-forms-plugin-2-7-2-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for updates. As a compensating control, consider disabling the GravityExport Lite plugin if its export functionality is not essential. If the plugin must remain active, restrict access to the WordPress admin-ajax.php and REST API endpoints used by the plugin to authenticated users only via a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or server configuration, though this may break legitimate export operations. Ensure Gravity Forms is kept up to date, as the plugin depends on it.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability resides in the GravityExport Lite for Gravity Forms WordPress plugin, which extends the commercial Gravity Forms plugin to allow exporting form entries to Excel. The flaw is classified as CWE-862: Missing Authorization, meaning that a function or endpoint intended to be restricted lacks proper capability checks. In a WordPress context, this often manifests as an AJAX action (e.g., via admin-ajax.php) or a REST API route that can be invoked without authentication, allowing access to data that should require administrative privileges. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:gravitykit:gravityexport_lite_for_gravity_forms:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the affected product, and the version range is up to and including 2.7.2. Because the plugin depends on Gravity Forms, only sites with that commercial plugin installed are vulnerable.

DescriptionCVE.org
Unauthenticated Broken Access Control in GravityExport Lite for Gravity Forms <= 2.7.2 versions.
Executive ViewAI
GravityExport Lite for Gravity Forms (versions up to and including 2.7.2) is affected by a broken access control flaw that lets unauthenticated attackers retrieve sensitive export data from any site running the plugin alongside Gravity Forms. Because WordPress form submissions routinely contain customer names, contact details, and other regulated personal data, this exposes the organization to direct confidentiality loss and downstream regulatory and reputational consequences. No vendor patch is currently available, and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, so exposure is driven by whether the plugin is deployed on internet-facing sites.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: deactivate or remove the plugin where it is not business-critical; block or restrict access to export endpoints via WAF, reverse-proxy rules, or IP allowlisting; require authentication at the web server or edge for export paths; monitor and log export endpoint access for anomalous unauthenticated requests; rotate any sensitive data or credentials that may have been exposed and review data-retention exposure.
