Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 14 Nov 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Until an official fix is available, site administrators should consider disabling or restricting access to JetFormBuilder forms that use the get_from_db generator field. Monitoring public forms for exposure of form IDs and field names may help reduce risk. Avoid publishing forms with get_from_db generator fields if possible. Follow vendor updates closely for an official patch or mitigation.

Description

The JetFormBuilder — Dynamic Blocks Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.3. 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 retrieve every distinct value stored under any arbitrary wp_postmeta key on the site — including WooCommerce billing PII such as _billing_email, _billing_phone, and _billing_address fields, order totals, attachment paths, and any third-party plugin credentials or tokens stored in post meta — provided at least one published JetFormBuilder form with a get_from_db generator field exists on the site. Exploitation requires that the target site has at least one published jet-form-builder post containing a field whose generator_function is set to get_from_db; an attacker must supply a matching form ID, field name, and generator ID in the request, but all of these can be discovered by browsing the site's public forms.

Impact

An attacker without authentication can bypass authorization controls to retrieve sensitive information stored in the WordPress post meta table. This includes personally identifiable information related to WooCommerce billing such as email, phone, and address, order totals, attachment paths, and credentials or tokens from third-party plugins. This exposure can lead to privacy violations and potential further compromise depending on the data accessed. The vulnerability does not impact integrity or availability directly but compromises confidentiality.

Summary

CVE-2026-13459 is an authorization bypass vulnerability (CWE-862) in the JetFormBuilder — Dynamic Blocks Form Builder WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to and including 3.6.3. The plugin fails to properly verify user authorization before allowing access to data retrieval actions. This enables unauthenticated attackers to access distinct values stored under arbitrary wp_postmeta keys, including sensitive WooCommerce billing information and third-party plugin credentials, provided the site has at least one published JetFormBuilder form with a get_from_db generator field. Attackers can discover necessary form IDs and field names by browsing public forms.

Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #4OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.
Architecture and Design
Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
Architecture and Design
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
