CVE-2026-5149: CWE-863 Incorrect Authorization in rometheme RTMKit
The RTMKit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.7 This is due to the get_submission_content AJAX endpoint lacking a capability check to verify that a user has permission to access the requested form submission data. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to view arbitrary form submissions from other users by iterating the entries_id parameter.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-5149 is an authorization bypass vulnerability in the RTMKit WordPress plugin caused by missing capability checks on the get_submission_content AJAX endpoint. This flaw allows authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges or above to access form submission data belonging to other users by iterating the entries_id parameter, exposing potentially sensitive information. The issue affects all versions up to and including 2.0.7. There is no vendor-provided patch or official remediation guidance available at this time.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can view arbitrary form submissions from other users without proper authorization. This leads to a confidentiality breach of potentially sensitive form data. The vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.5 (medium severity), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to form submissions. Avoid exposing sensitive data through form submissions accessible by this plugin.
