AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Attacker fully controls the crafted quiz (AC:L); a delegated non-admin quiz-importer is the exploiting actor (PR:L, not PR:H); administrator-role grant yields full C/I/A compromise.

5DescriptionCVE.org
The Forminator Forms WordPress plugin before 1.57.2.1 does not apply the role validation it enforces elsewhere when a registration form is nested inside an imported quiz, allowing a user who may import quizzes to publish a live, publicly reachable form that grants any role, including administrator, to anyone who submits it. The same user is refused an identical form through both the ordinary form editor and the ordinary form import.
AnalysisAI
An authenticated user holding the quiz-import capability in the Forminator Forms WordPress plugin (versions 1.57.0 through before 1.57.2.1) can escalate to full site control by embedding a role-assigning registration form inside an imported quiz and publishing it, granting any role - including administrator - to anyone who submits the public form. The plugin enforces role validation in the ordinary form editor and ordinary form import paths but omits that check in the quiz-import code path, making the nested-quiz route the only viable bypass; the identical form is rejected through both normal routes. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires an authenticated user who holds the delegated capability to import Forminator quizzes but is NOT a full administrator (an admin would need no exploit). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine privilege-escalation-to-site-takeover flaw whose real-world priority is meaningfully higher than the vendor's 6.6 CVSS suggests, but is bounded by who can trigger it. … 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 | Apply the vendor-released patch by upgrading Forminator Forms to version 1.57.2.1 or later; this is the primary and definitive fix and the only version boundary identified in the available data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
