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 | Exploitation requires that the target WordPress site has the WP E-Signature Ninja Forms Signature Contract Add-On installed and active at version 3.2.5 or earlier. Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), no authentication, no user interaction, and no special configuration are needed - a remote attacker can reach the vulnerable, improperly access-controlled function over the network against a default installation. The primary limiting factors are the plugin's narrow deployment footprint and the confidentiality-only impact (C:L, I:N, A:N): successful exploitation discloses restricted data but does not permit data modification or service disruption. The exact protected endpoint/feature affected is not specified in the available description. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity Missing Authorization flaw (CWE-862) in the WP E-Signature 'Ninja Forms Signature Contract Add-On', scored CVSS 5.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) by the reporter Patchstack. The vector indicates remote, network-based, low-complexity exploitation requiring no privileges and no user interaction, but the impact is limited to a low confidentiality breach only (I:N/A:N) - meaning an attacker can likely read or access data they should not, but cannot modify data or affect availability. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public POC was provided in the input, so there is no signal of active or probable exploitation; the risk is driven entirely by the CVSS vector rather than any exploitation evidence. The signals are internally consistent (no conflicts between vector and description), but the real-world priority is tempered by the narrow, confidentiality-only impact and the niche nature of the affected plugin. Treat this as a routine patch-management item rather than an emergency - meaningfully lower urgency than its 'medium' CVSS alone might imply, absent any exploitation indicators. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request directly to an access-control-protected function or endpoint of the Ninja Forms Signature Contract Add-On (version ≤ 3.2.5) that fails to verify authorization. Because the check is missing, the attacker gains read access to data intended to be restricted, such as signature or contract-related information. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and the impact is limited to confidentiality disclosure. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 15, 2026
Missing authorization controls in the WP E-Signature 'Ninja Forms Signature Contract Add-On' for WordPress (all versions from the initial release through 3.2.5) let remote, unauthenticated attackers reach a function that should be restricted and read data they are not entitled to see. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, score 5.3) confirms no credentials, no user interaction, and no special configuration are required against a default installation, but impact is limited to confidentiality - no data modification or denial of service is possible. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis and no EPSS or CISA KEV data was provided, so there is no confirmed active exploitation; risk is driven by the plugin's narrow deployment footprint and the low-sensitivity, read-only nature of the exposure.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data at time of analysis, so check the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/ninja-signature-contract-forms-add-on/vulnerability/wordpress-ninja-forms-signature-contract-add-on-plugin-3-2-5-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) and the plugin's WordPress.org / vendor update channel for a fixed build and upgrade immediately once one is published - until then treat 3.2.5 and earlier as vulnerable. If the Ninja Forms Signature Contract Add-On is not actively used, deactivate and delete it; this fully removes the exposure with no functional loss, which is the safest option for sites that are not using signature contracts. For sites that must retain it, compensate with perimeter controls rather than generic hardening: block or challenge unauthenticated requests that reach the plugin's endpoints (its REST/AJAX/admin-ajax handlers) via WAF or reverse-proxy rules, and rate-limit or deny direct access to the plugin directory where the affected code path lives - the trade-off is that legitimate unauthenticated front-end signature flows may break and rules require tuning. Restricting the affected functionality to logged-in users with the relevant roles (and requiring authentication at the web server layer for the plugin's endpoints) removes the PR:N exposure but similarly prevents public signature-contract workflows. Monitor access logs for anomalous enumeration or automated probing of the plugin's URLs, since the read-only nature of the flaw makes detection depend on unusual request patterns rather than data tampering.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is a WordPress plugin that integrates WP E-Signature with Ninja Forms to generate signature contracts; it is tracked by the CPE cpe:2.3:a:wp_e-signature:ninja_forms_signature_contract_add-on:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* with the affected range running through 3.2.5. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), meaning a function or endpoint that should have been gated behind a capability or permission check was registered without one - a classic 'broken access control' pattern in WordPress plugins where handlers are reachable directly over HTTP. Because the CVSS vector carries PR:N and UI:N, the improperly protected entry point can be invoked by any remote user without logging in, and the AC:L/S:U values indicate no unusual preconditions or cross-component chaining. The impact triad C:L/I:N/A:N means the exposed operation is a read/retrieval path only: an attacker can disclose information the plugin intended to keep restricted, but cannot alter records or degrade availability. The specific protected endpoint or feature is not identified in the available advisory text.
