Technical Summary

The NEX-Forms – Ultimate Forms Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the NF5_Export_Forms class constructor in all versions up to, and including, 9.1.8. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to export form configurations, that may include sensitive data, such as email addresses, PayPal API credentials, and third-party integration keys by enumerating the nex_forms_Id parameter.

Potential Impact

Severity is MEDIUM (CVSS 5.3). Depending on deployment context, affected components may be exposed to unauthorized actions or data integrity risk.

Exploitability Assessment

Exploitability is assessed as High based on remote code execution potential, low-bar exploit prerequisites.

Primary risk drivers: remote code execution potential, low-bar exploit prerequisites

Mitigation Recommendations

Validate affected product versions, prioritize patching, and monitor references for vendor remediation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, apply compensating controls and limit exposure of vulnerable surfaces.

Detection & Monitoring

Track authentication anomalies, unexpected file writes, and suspicious plugin API activity around affected components.

Business Impact Lens

Prioritize remediation where affected components process customer data, admin sessions, or Internet-exposed workflows.
