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 the attacker to hold at minimum a WordPress subscriber account on the target site. This is the critical limiting factor: if the target WordPress installation has open user registration enabled (WordPress default allows self-registration as a subscriber), any unauthenticated internet user can register and then exploit the flaw. If user registration is disabled or restricted, an attacker must obtain credentials through other means (phishing, credential stuffing, prior breach). No special plugin configuration or non-default settings are indicated as prerequisites beyond the plugin being installed and active. The vulnerability is exploitable remotely over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and requires no user interaction (UI:N). The specific privileged actions accessible to a subscriber are not enumerated in available intelligence - the exact functionality exposed without authorization is not confirmed beyond the broken-access-control classification. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:L) scores 6.4 Medium. Attack complexity is low and no user interaction is required, but exploitation requires at minimum a valid subscriber account, limiting opportunistic mass exploitation - an attacker cannot abuse this without first registering or obtaining credentials for the target WordPress site. The scope change elevates concern slightly above a typical low-integrity flaw, suggesting impact can propagate to forms or site components beyond the plugin itself. No EPSS data was provided in the intelligence set; without it, probability of widespread automated exploitation cannot be quantified. KEV status is negative and no POC has been identified, classifying this as no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Real-world priority is moderate: sites with open user registration (allowing anyone to become a subscriber) face a meaningfully higher attack surface than sites with closed or invite-only registration. Defenders should weight the registration policy of the target WordPress site heavily when triaging this CVE. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker registers a free subscriber account on a WordPress site running Ultra Addons for WPForms 1.0.11 or earlier, then sends crafted authenticated HTTP requests to the plugin's unprotected AJAX or REST endpoints, invoking privileged operations - such as modifying form configurations, toggling plugin settings, or disrupting form availability - that should be restricted to administrators. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and scope change make manual exploitation straightforward for anyone familiar with WordPress plugin auditing techniques. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 15, 2026
Broken access control in Ultra Addons for WPForms (WordPress plugin by Themefic) through version 1.0.11 allows authenticated subscriber-level users to perform privileged actions beyond their intended role. The vulnerability stems from missing authorization checks (CWE-862), enabling a low-privilege attacker with only a subscriber account to manipulate plugin functionality in ways restricted to higher-privilege roles such as administrators or editors. With a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.4 Medium and a scope-changed vector, the impact extends beyond the plugin itself to affect WordPress site integrity and availability. No public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation have been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to update Ultra Addons for WPForms to a version released after 1.0.11; however, a specific patched version number is not confirmed in the available intelligence - verify the current version in the WordPress plugin repository or the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/ultra-addons-for-wpforms/vulnerability/wordpress-ultra-addons-for-wpforms-plugin-1-0-11-broken-access-control-vulnerability before updating. If an update is not yet available or cannot be applied immediately, disable user registration on the WordPress site (Settings > General > uncheck 'Anyone can register') to eliminate the subscriber-level attack surface entirely - this prevents untrusted users from obtaining the minimum privilege required to exploit the flaw, though it also prevents legitimate new user sign-ups. Alternatively, a web application firewall rule (e.g., via Patchstack Shield or Wordfence) that blocks unauthorized AJAX calls to the plugin's endpoints can serve as a temporary compensating control without requiring registration to be disabled. Deactivating the plugin until a confirmed patched version is available is the most conservative option if WPForms addons functionality is not critical.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Ultra Addons for WPForms is a WordPress plugin developed by Themefic (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:themefic:ultra_addons_for_wpforms:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) that extends the WPForms form builder. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), a class of vulnerability where PHP functions or AJAX handlers registered by the plugin fail to verify whether the calling user holds sufficient capabilities before executing privileged operations. In WordPress, subscriber is the lowest authenticated role and should have no administrative access. The CVSS scope change (S:C) indicates the missing check allows actions that affect resources or components outside the plugin's own security scope - likely WordPress site content, settings, or form data managed by WPForms itself. This pattern is extremely common in WordPress plugin ecosystems where AJAX action callbacks omit current_user_can() checks or rely solely on nonce verification without capability gating.
