Until a fix is available, restrict access to draft IDs and avoid sharing 'continue later' links publicly. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
Description
The Forminator Forms WordPress plugin up to version 1.57.3.1 contains an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability via the 'previous_draft_id' parameter. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers who have obtained a victim's draft ID (e.g., from a shared 'continue later' link) to delete and overwrite saved drafts belonging to other users. The nonce intended to protect this action is publicly accessible and does not prevent exploitation.
