Vulnerability Overview

The Forminator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.29.1 via class-forminator-addon-hubspot-wp-api.php. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract the HubSpot integration developer API key and make unauthorized changes to the plugin's HubSpot integration or expose personally identifiable information from plugin users using the HubSpot integration.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality.

CWE-522: Insufficiently Protected Credentials

The product transmits or stores authentication credentials, but it uses an insecure method that is susceptible to unauthorized interception and/or retrieval.

Remediation

Update to version 1.29.2, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

The fix is the thing that ends this: Forminator Forms 1.29.2 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
