Technical Analysis
The Forminator Forms WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.57.0.7 contain an improper privilege management vulnerability (CWE-269). The plugin fails to consistently enforce role restrictions on registration forms, enabling authorized form builders to configure a form that grants administrator privileges to any user who registers via that form. This could lead to unauthorized privilege escalation.
Potential Impact
An attacker with permission to build forms can exploit this vulnerability to assign themselves or others the administrator role upon registration. This results in full administrative control over the WordPress site, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade the Forminator Forms plugin to version 1.57.0.7 or later, where this privilege management issue has been fixed. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.
