Vulnerability Overview

The Ninja Forms – The Contact Form Builder That Grows With You plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in versions 3.14.0 through 3.15.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom role-level access and above, to extract sensitive user or configuration data.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, and no interaction from a victim user.

CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

Reaching this weakness in Ninja Forms 3.14.0 – 3.15.1 takes an account at Custom Role level or above. Sensitive information exposure means data the application intended to keep internal is returned to a caller who should not be able to see it.

The disclosed data — credentials, tokens, customer records or internal paths — is usually worth more as material for a follow-up attack than as an end in itself. For Ninja Forms the fix is 3.15.2: builds 3.14.0 – 3.15.1 are affected, anything from 3.15.2 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 3.15.2, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

The fix is the thing that ends this: Ninja Forms 3.15.2 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
