CVE-2025-14067 is a vulnerability classified under CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) found in the Easy Form Builder plugin for WordPress, developed by hassantafreshi and distributed by WhiteStudio. This plugin, widely used for creating drag-and-drop forms, contains a logic flaw in its authorization mechanism for AJAX actions. Specifically, the plugin incorrectly uses a logical AND (&&) operator instead of a logical OR (||) when checking user capabilities. This error allows any authenticated user with at least Subscriber-level privileges to bypass intended access restrictions and retrieve sensitive form response data, including user-submitted messages, administrative replies, and other user information. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 3.9.3. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 5.3, reflecting a medium severity level, with an attack vector of network (remote exploitation), low attack complexity, no privileges required beyond subscriber access, no user interaction needed, and impact limited to confidentiality loss. There are no known exploits in the wild as of the publication date. The vulnerability does not affect data integrity or availability but compromises confidentiality by exposing sensitive data to unauthorized users. The flaw stems from a logic error in the authorization check, which should have prevented lower-privileged users from accessing sensitive AJAX endpoints. Since the plugin is commonly used in WordPress environments, the vulnerability poses a risk to websites collecting sensitive user data through forms. No official patch links are currently available, so mitigation may require manual intervention or plugin updates once released.

For European organizations, the primary impact of CVE-2025-14067 is the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive form data collected via the Easy Form Builder plugin. This can include personal user information, messages, and administrative responses, potentially leading to privacy violations and non-compliance with GDPR regulations. Exposure of such data could damage organizational reputation, erode customer trust, and result in regulatory fines. Since the vulnerability requires only Subscriber-level access, attackers could exploit compromised or low-privilege accounts to escalate data access without needing administrator credentials. The impact is confined to confidentiality; there is no direct risk to data integrity or system availability. Organizations relying on this plugin for customer interactions, surveys, or data collection are particularly vulnerable. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat, especially given the ease of exploitation. European entities with public-facing WordPress sites using this plugin should consider the risk significant due to the potential for sensitive data leakage and regulatory consequences.

1. Monitor the plugin vendor's official channels for security updates and apply patches promptly once available. 2. Until an official patch is released, implement custom access control measures by modifying the plugin code to correct the authorization logic from AND (&&) to OR (||) in the affected AJAX handlers. 3. Restrict Subscriber-level accounts from accessing AJAX endpoints related to form response data by enforcing stricter capability checks or disabling AJAX actions for low-privilege users. 4. Conduct an audit of user roles and permissions on WordPress sites to minimize the number of users with Subscriber or higher privileges. 5. Employ web application firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious AJAX requests targeting the vulnerable endpoints. 6. Review and limit the amount of sensitive data collected via forms to reduce exposure risk. 7. Educate site administrators about the vulnerability and encourage regular plugin updates and security best practices. 8. Consider alternative form builder plugins with robust security track records if timely patching is not feasible.
