At a glance
This record tracks a medium-severity Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in the FormsDB WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 1.5. It carries a CVSS score of 5.3 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 1.6; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed June 2022.
Vulnerability Overview
The Elementor Contact Form DB plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to sensitive information disclosure due to a lack of capability checks on the sb_elem_cfd_download_csv() in versions up to, and including 1.5 which makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to download an export file of the plugins saved contact entries.
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.
CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
FormsDB <= 1.5 carries this weakness at sb_elem_cfd_download_csv(), and reaching it takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. 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 FormsDB the fix is 1.6: builds <= 1.5 are affected, anything from 1.6 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 1.6, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
The fix is the thing that ends this: FormsDB 1.6 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
