Vulnerability Overview

The Contact Form by WD – responsive drag & drop contact form builder tool plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on the form_maker_cfm function in versions up to, and including, 1.7.18. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to edit forms, including entering stored cross-site scripting, as output is not properly escaped.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.7.19, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.
