At a glance

CVE-2024-2112 is a medium-severity Improper Authentication vulnerability in the Form Maker by 10Web WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 1.15.22. It carries a CVSS score of 5.9 (reachable over the network; high confidentiality impact). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 1.15.23; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed March 2024, reported by Tim Coen.

Vulnerability Overview

The Form Maker by 10Web – Mobile-Friendly Drag & Drop Contact Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.15.22 via the signature functionality. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data including user signatures.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality.

CWE-287: Improper Authentication

Reaching this weakness in Form Maker by 10Web <= 1.15.22 takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. Improper authentication means the mechanism that proves who a caller is can be satisfied without the secret it was supposed to require.

An attacker authenticates as another user — administrators included — without ever knowing a password, so password policies and login rate limits never come into play. For Form Maker by 10Web the fix is 1.15.23: builds <= 1.15.22 are affected, anything from 1.15.23 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 1.15.23, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

Because it turns on account access, WordSec's login security is the relevant layer: role-based two-factor, captcha and brute-force limits raise the cost of getting the account this needs. None of that substitutes for the fix: Form Maker by 10Web 1.15.23 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
