CVE-2026-87069: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in Forminator Forms
The Forminator Forms WordPress plugin before 1.57.2.1 does not perform a nonce, capability or ownership check before running a one-time payment-field migration during the construction of one of its admin screens, and that construction happens on every wp-admin request for any logged-in user. Any authenticated user, including a Subscriber with no permissions in the Forminator Forms WordPress plugin before 1.57.2.1, can therefore rewrite the saved field configuration of any form on the site, including a live payment form.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-87069 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the Forminator Forms WordPress plugin versions from 1.38.1 up to but not including 1.57.2.1. The plugin fails to perform necessary authorization checks (nonce, capability, or ownership) before executing a one-time payment-field migration during the construction of an admin screen. This admin screen construction happens on every wp-admin request for any logged-in user, enabling any authenticated user, regardless of their permission level, to rewrite the saved field configuration of any form on the site, including live payment forms.
Potential Impact
Any authenticated user, including those with no special permissions (e.g., Subscribers), can modify form configurations, potentially altering payment forms. This could lead to unauthorized changes in form behavior, possibly affecting payment processing or data collection integrity.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade the Forminator Forms plugin to version 1.57.2.1 or later, where this authorization issue is fixed. Until then, restrict wp-admin access to trusted users only. Patch status is confirmed by the version range indicating the fix in 1.57.2.1.
