CVE-2026-11995: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in saadiqbal Gutena Forms – Contact Form, Survey Form, Feedback Form, Booking Form, and Custom Form Builder
The Gutena Forms – Contact Form, Survey Form, Feedback Form, Booking Form, and Custom Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.0. 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 modify the read/unread status of or permanently trash arbitrary form submission entries belonging to any form. The nonce issued by check_ajax_referer() does not function as an authorization barrier because the nonce action 'gutena_Forms' is emitted to unauthenticated visitors via wp_localize_script() on any public page that contains a Gutena Forms block, making it freely obtainable by anonymous attackers.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-11995 describes an authorization bypass vulnerability (CWE-862) in the Gutena Forms WordPress plugin (Contact Form, Survey Form, Feedback Form, Booking Form, and Custom Form Builder). Versions up to and including 1.9.0 do not properly verify that a user is authorized to perform actions on form submissions. The nonce used for AJAX requests (via check_ajax_referer()) is ineffective as an authorization barrier because the nonce action 'gutena_Forms' is exposed to unauthenticated users through wp_localize_script() on any public page with a Gutena Forms block. This allows anonymous attackers to modify or delete form submission entries arbitrarily.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can modify the read/unread status or permanently trash any form submission entries belonging to any form managed by the plugin. There is no confidentiality or availability impact reported, but the integrity of form submission data can be compromised. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 5.3 (medium severity), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, no confidentiality impact, limited integrity impact, and no availability impact.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch links are provided at this time. Until a patch is available, restrict public access to pages containing Gutena Forms blocks or disable the plugin if possible to prevent exploitation. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply official patches once released.
