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 | Requires an authenticated user account with any level of access - the vulnerable IntegrationsController::actionFormSettings action lacked the form-integration permission check, so no per-form or integration-management permission is needed. Exploitation is materially easier on sites that allow low-privileged or front-end user authentication, especially those with public/self registration, which the advisory highlights as the primary risk amplifier. A Formie integration (CRM, email-marketing, or webhook) must already be configured with stored API keys or OAuth tokens for credential exfiltration to yield value. Limiting factors: the target must run a vulnerable version (>=3.0.0 <3.1.31 on Craft 5, or <2.2.23 on Craft 4), some form of authentication is required (not fully unauthenticated), and closed-CP sites where only trusted staff can log in substantially reduce exposure. The advisory notes no configuration-only workaround fully mitigates the issue short of upgrading. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N = 8.5) reflects a genuinely serious, low-friction flaw: network-reachable, low complexity, only low privileges required, and no user interaction. The PR:L is the critical gating factor and the description explicitly widens it - sites permitting front-end/self-registration effectively lower the bar to any registered member, making PR:L close to unauthenticated in practice. The C:H rating is well-justified because the non-blind SSRF returns the remote response in the JSON body AND causes stored API keys/OAuth tokens to be sent to an attacker-controlled host, enabling both internal network probing and credential exfiltration. S:C is defensible because the server pivots to internal/attacker hosts (a different security authority). No EPSS score, no SSVC decision data, no KEV listing, and no public POC were provided, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis' - but the flaw is notable because it is an INCOMPLETE FIX of prior advisory GHSA-cvpc-hccg-wmw4 (the 3.1.28 permission gate excluded this action), meaning the vulnerability class was already known and scrutinized. Absence of EPSS/KEV likely reflects the niche Craft CMS ecosystem footprint rather than low technical severity. Real priority for any Formie site with open registration; lower urgency for closed-CP sites where only trusted staff authenticate. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker registers or logs in as a low-privileged front-end member on a Craft CMS site running vulnerable Formie, then POSTs to the control-panel action formie/integrations/form-settings, supplying settings that overwrite a configured integration's apiUrl (and related host properties) via setAttributes. The server uses its stored CRM/email-marketing/webhook API keys or OAuth tokens to make a request to the attacker's host and returns the response, exfiltrating the credentials and enabling internal network reconnaissance. No public POC is referenced, but the advisory describes the mechanism in exploit-ready detail. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 23, 2026
Missing authorization in Formie's IntegrationsController::actionFormSettings control panel action lets any authenticated user (no integration permission required) override outbound host properties such as apiUrl on an already-configured integration, causing the server to send stored API keys or OAuth tokens to an attacker-controlled or internal host and return the remote response in the JSON body. This is a non-blind SSRF combined with credential exfiltration affecting verbb/formie versions before 2.2.23 (Craft 4) and 3.0.0 through 3.1.30 (Craft 5); patched releases are 2.2.23 and 3.1.31. Authentication with any level of access is required, so exposure is greatest on sites permitting low-privileged or front-end/member authentication (including public self-registration), and a CRM, email-marketing, or webhook integration must already be configured with stored credentials for exfiltration to be meaningful; no public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is an incomplete remediation of GHSA-cvpc-hccg-wmw4, whose 3.1.28 permission gate omitted this action.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Formie to the fixed release for your branch: 3.1.31 for Craft 5 installations and 2.2.23 for Craft 4 installations, as documented in the release notes at https://github.com/verbb/formie/releases/tag/3.1.31 and https://github.com/verbb/formie/releases/tag/2.2.23 and the advisory at https://github.com/verbb/formie/security/advisories/GHSA-v3f3-cmj4-cvj9; the patch enforces requireCpRequest(), a valid formId, and integration permissions while filtering request settings through an allowlist that blocks URL, host, and credential attributes (see commits 6735fe4ae8f6a2a76930716ad7876b236f7c530d and dde7799dfa7e4d0a11e28754ad8544dba62d5def). Vendor guidance states no configuration-only workaround fully mitigates the issue, so until upgrading you must reduce the attack surface: disable public/front-end user registration and self-service account creation so untrusted parties cannot obtain any authenticated session (this breaks legitimate member features), restrict control panel access to vetted staff and close the CP to external networks (limiting but not eliminating exposure from internal low-privileged accounts), and treat stored integration secrets as potentially compromised - rotate API keys and OAuth tokens used by Formie CRM, email-marketing, and webhook integrations and review outbound egress logs for unexpected host requests. Because exploitation requires only an authenticated account and the 3.1.28 gate deliberately excluded this action, also confirm that other 3.1.28-era permission checks have not been bypassed on any host upgraded from a pre-3.1.31 build.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Formie is a Craft CMS form-building plugin distributed as the Composer package verbb/formie (CPE cpe:2.3:a:verbb:formie:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The vulnerable controller action formie/integrations/form-settings in src/controllers/IntegrationsController.php applied request-supplied data to a fully configured integration object via Yii's setAttributes($settings, false), so an attacker could rewrite outbound host attributes such as apiUrl while the server continued to attach its stored API keys or OAuth tokens to the resulting request. Because the remote response was echoed back in the JSON body, the primitive is a non-blind SSRF that doubles as a credential-exfiltration channel, also usable to probe internal network endpoints. The root cause class is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the permission gate introduced in version 3.1.28 to remediate GHSA-cvpc-hccg-wmw4 did not cover the form-settings action, leaving it reachable by any authenticated user. The upstream fix adds requireCpRequest(), a validated formId, and per-form integration permission checks (formie-showFormIntegrations / per-form variant on Craft 5; formie-manageFormIntegrations / per-form variant on Craft 4), plus an allowlist filter (_filterIntegrationFormSettings) that rejects any attribute whose lowercased name contains key, secret, token, password, url, domain, uri, host, credential, or auth, permitting only mapping and benign settings such as mapTo*, *FieldMapping, *Id, sendEmailCampaign, and attachFiles.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Formie is a Craft CMS plugin for creating forms. Prior to 2.2.23 and 3.1.31, Formie's formie/integrations/form-settings control panel action in IntegrationsController::actionFormSettings is reachable without the required form integration permissions and passes request-supplied settings to a configured integration. An authenticated attacker can replace outbound host properties such as apiUrl while the server uses stored API keys or OAuth tokens, causing non-blind server-side requests to an attacker-controlled or internal host and returning the remote response. This residual flaw remained because the permission gate added in version 3.1.28 excluded the form-settings action. Sites that permit low-privileged or front-end user authentication can therefore expose integration credentials and internal network responses. This issue is fixed in versions 2.2.23 and 3.1.31.
Technical POC Analysis
CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) on IntegrationsController::actionFormSettings in the verbb/formie Craft CMS plugin, exposed at the control panel route formie/integrations/form-settings.
Full technical POC analysis - root cause, step-by-step exploitation and patch breakdown - is part of the Pro and Business plans.
Executive ViewAI
Formie, the widely deployed form-building plugin for Craft CMS, carries a high-severity authorization flaw (CVE-2026-76086, CVSS 8.5) that allows a user holding even the lowest level of control panel access to redirect a configured CRM, email-marketing, or webhook integration to a host of their choosing and read back whatever that remote server returns in the JSON response. The practical consequence is theft of third-party API keys and OAuth tokens plus a server-side request forgery foothold that can be turned against internal systems, which in turn can expose customer data held in connected marketing and CRM platforms. Leadership should care because the exposure is greatest on sites that permit public self-registration or member accounts, and no public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, so the activity would likely appear as ordinary outbound integration traffic.
Apply vendor patch (2.2.23 on Craft 4, 3.1.31 on Craft 5). Until upgraded: rotate all stored integration API keys and OAuth tokens, remove credentials from unused integrations, restrict Formie control panel access to trusted roles, and disable public self-registration or member authentication where it is not essential.
