Missing Authorization vulnerability in WPMU DEV Forminator allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.
This issue affects Forminator: from n/a through 1.57.2.
AnalysisAI
Missing authorization in the WPMU DEV Forminator WordPress plugin (all versions through 1.57.2) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to perform privileged actions that should require an access-control check, altering site data with a high integrity impact (CVSS 7.5, AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). Because the vector carries PR:N and UI:N, exploitation requires only that a vulnerable Forminator installation be network-reachable; no credentials or victim interaction are needed, though the impact is confined to integrity with no confidentiality or availability loss. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires only that a vulnerable Forminator installation (versions through 1.57.2) be running and network-reachable; per AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N no authentication, user interaction, or special configuration is stated as required, matching a broken/missing access-control check reachable by unauthenticated requests against default deployments. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a moderate-priority, broadly-reachable flaw rather than an urgent emergency. … 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 | No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data, so the primary action is to upgrade Forminator to the first release later than 1.57.2 as soon as WPMU DEV publishes it, and to verify the fixed version against the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/forminator/vulnerability/wordpress-forminator-plugin-1-57-2-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) and the vendor's own changelog before assuming exposure is closed. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all WordPress sites for the WPMU DEV Forminator plugin and identify any instance running version 1.57.2 or earlier; for affected sites, deploy WAF/virtual patching to block unauthenticated requests to Forminator endpoints, restrict access to wp-admin and plugin paths, and enable detailed logging. …
