Missing Authorization vulnerability in Brainstorm Force SureForms Pro allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.
This issue affects SureForms Pro: from n/a through 2.8.0.
AnalysisAI
Broken access control in the SureForms Pro WordPress form-builder plugin (versions up to and including 2.8.0) lets remote unauthenticated attackers reach functionality that should be protected by capability checks, resulting in limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The flaw stems from missing authorization (CWE-862) on incorrectly configured access-control security levels rather than a memory-safety or injection bug. EPSS is very low (0.01%, 2nd percentile) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though SSVC rates the flaw as automatable with partial technical impact.
Technical ContextAI
SureForms Pro is a commercial WordPress plugin by Brainstorm Force (the WPAstra/Ultimate Addons vendor) used to build and manage web forms. The root cause is CWE-862 Missing Authorization: one or more plugin actions (likely AJAX or REST endpoints, or admin-post handlers common to WordPress plugins) fail to enforce a proper capability or nonce/permission check before executing, so the intended access-control security level is not applied. The single CPE in scope, cpe:2.3:a:brainstorm_force:sureforms_pro, confirms only the Pro edition of the plugin is identified as affected; the underlying WordPress core authorization primitives (current_user_can, REST permission_callback) are what should have gated the operation.
RemediationAI
Upgrade SureForms Pro to a release later than 2.8.0 as soon as the vendor publishes a fixed build; no exact patched version number is provided in the available data, so treat 2.8.0 as the last known-vulnerable version and consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/sureforms-pro/vulnerability/wordpress-sureforms-pro-plugin-2-8-0-broken-access-control-vulnerability) for the fixed release. Until a patched version is confirmed and applied, compensating controls include placing the affected endpoints behind a WordPress-aware WAF (Patchstack or equivalent virtual patch) to filter the vulnerable requests, restricting access to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php and REST routes to authenticated sessions or trusted IPs where feasible (trade-off: may break legitimate anonymous form submissions), and, if the plugin's affected feature is non-essential, deactivating SureForms Pro to eliminate exposure (trade-off: forms built with it will stop functioning). Review form-submission and admin logs for anomalous unauthenticated calls to plugin actions.
