3DescriptionCVE.org
The Flamingo plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.2. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to enumerate taxonomy terms including channel names derived from Contact Form 7 form titles that may reveal internal form purposes, department names, or workflow identifiers, as well as submission counts per channel and contact tag names. The plugin's flamingo_map_meta_cap() filter restricts access to Flamingo's admin UI but does not extend to WordPress core APIs such as XML-RPC wp.getTerms and admin-ajax ajax-tag-search.

Authorization bypass in the Flamingo WordPress plugin (all versions ≤2.6.2) allows authenticated contributor-level users to enumerate sensitive internal metadata via unprotected WordPress core API endpoints. The plugin's capability filter flamingo_map_meta_cap() secures the admin UI but leaves XML-RPC wp.getTerms and admin-ajax ajax-tag-search without equivalent checks, exposing Contact Form 7 channel names, department identifiers, workflow names, submission counts per channel, and contact tag names. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid WordPress account at contributor level or above - unauthenticated exploitation is not possible (CVSS PR:L). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 5.4 Medium score (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N) is broadly consistent with the attack profile, though the I:L component is inconsistent with the description, which exclusively describes read-only taxonomy enumeration - no data modification capability is documented, suggesting I:N is more accurate. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
