At a glance
CVE-2026-12994 is a medium-severity Missing Authorization vulnerability in the WCFM WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 6.7.27. 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 6.7.28; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed July 2026, reported by Niv Kochan.
Vulnerability Overview
The WCFM – Frontend Manager for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 6.7.27. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary reply content into any store inquiry, overwrite the main inquiry record in wp_wcfm_enquiries, and trigger unsolicited notification emails to customers and vendors. Unlike sibling controller branches (wcfm-enquiry and wcfm-enquiry-manage), the wcfm-my-account-enquiry-manage branch performs no is_user_logged_in() or current_user_can() check, and the nonce that serves as the sole barrier is embedded into every public page load without any login gate.
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-862: Missing Authorization
WCFM <= 6.7.27 carries this weakness at is_user_logged_in(), and reaching it takes no account at all. A missing authorization check means a function is reachable by anyone who can reach the endpoint, because the code never asks whether the caller is allowed to perform the action.
Any user who can reach the endpoint gets to run an action reserved for higher-privileged roles, from reading protected data to changing settings or content. For WCFM the fix is 6.7.28: builds <= 6.7.27 are affected, anything from 6.7.28 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 6.7.28, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
This one needs no account at all, which puts it outside what login hardening can reach; WordSec's login security narrows the account-level paths around it, and the firewall is what inspects the request itself. None of that substitutes for the fix: WCFM 6.7.28 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
