CVE-2026-5395: CWE-639 Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in techjewel Fluent Forms – Customizable Contact Forms, Survey, Quiz, & Conversational Form Builder
The Fluent Forms – Customizable Contact Forms, Survey, Quiz, & Conversational Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 6.2.0 via the exportEntries function due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Fluent Forms manager-level access and above, to bypass form-level access restrictions to access submissions from forms they are not authorized to view, export data from arbitrary database tables, and enumerate database table names via error message disclosure.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-5395 is an authorization bypass vulnerability in the Fluent Forms WordPress plugin (up to version 6.2.0) caused by missing validation on a user-controlled key in the exportEntries function. This insecure direct object reference (CWE-639) allows authenticated users with manager-level privileges or higher to circumvent form-level access restrictions, enabling unauthorized access to form submissions. The flaw also permits exporting data from arbitrary database tables and database table name enumeration via error message disclosures. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently documented.
Potential Impact
Exploitation of this vulnerability allows authenticated users with elevated privileges to access and export sensitive data from forms they should not have access to, potentially exposing confidential submission data. The ability to export arbitrary database tables and enumerate table names increases the risk of broader data exposure within the affected WordPress environment. The vulnerability does not appear to allow privilege escalation or denial of service but compromises data confidentiality.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict manager-level access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to form exports. Avoid granting unnecessary elevated privileges within Fluent Forms to reduce risk.
