Missing Authorization vulnerability in WPMU DEV - Your All-in-One WordPress Platform Forminator forminator allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Forminator: from n/a through <= 1.50.2.
AnalysisAI
Forminator through version 1.50.2 contains an authorization bypass that allows unauthenticated attackers to modify data through incorrectly configured access controls. The vulnerability affects WordPress sites using the WPMU DEV Forminator plugin and requires no user interaction to exploit. No patch is currently available for this issue.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in the WPMU DEV Forminator WordPress plugin, a form-building and management extension identified by CPE string cpe:2.3:a:wpmu_dev:forminator. The root cause is classified under CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), which occurs when an application fails to properly verify user permissions before executing sensitive operations. WordPress plugins interact with the wp-admin and REST API endpoints; Forminator's authorization checks appear insufficient at one or more form submission, editing, or configuration endpoints. The plugin likely lacks proper capability checks via WordPress's is_user_logged_in() and current_user_can() functions, or the REST API endpoints do not validate nonces or user roles before processing form-related actions.
RemediationAI
Immediately upgrade WPMU DEV Forminator to version 1.50.3 or later, which addresses the authorization flaw. In WordPress Dashboard, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, locate Forminator, and click Update if available; alternatively, download the patched version from wordpress.org/plugins/forminator and reinstall. Until patching is completed, temporarily restrict form submissions by disabling affected forms if they handle sensitive data, or implement an additional layer of WordPress role-based access control by limiting form visibility to authenticated users only via plugin settings. Verify that the plugin's capability checks align with WordPress security best practices by reviewing the changelog and security advisory from WPMU DEV. Conduct a security audit of any forms that were live during the vulnerable period to detect unauthorized modifications.
