The Forminator Forms WordPress plugin before 1.57.0.7 does not consistently enforce the role restriction it applies to registration forms, allowing users who are permitted to build forms to configure one that assigns the administrator role to any visitor who registers through it.
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in Forminator Forms WordPress plugin (versions before 1.57.0.7) allows any user with form-builder permissions to create a registration form that grants the WordPress administrator role to every visitor who self-registers through it. The role-restriction enforcement applied to registration forms is inconsistently applied, meaning the control exists in the codebase but can be bypassed at the configuration layer by a sufficiently privileged form author. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the attacker already holds a WordPress user account with sufficient privileges to create or edit Forminator Forms registration forms - this corresponds to a role that has been granted the plugin's form-management capability, typically Editor or a custom role, which maps to PR:H in the CVSS vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.6 with vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H accurately captures the two-stage nature of this vulnerability: the exploiting party must already hold high privileges (PR:H) to configure the malicious form, and the attack complexity is high (AC:H) because exploiting it requires deliberate misconfiguration rather than a single request. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | The primary fix is to upgrade Forminator Forms to version 1.57.0.7 or later, where the role-restriction enforcement on registration forms has been made consistent. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
