CVE-2026-1674 - And Custom Form Builder Plugin

CVE-2026-1674

The Gutena Forms – Contact Form, Survey Form, Feedback Form, Booking Form, and Custom Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to missing authorization within the save_gutena_forms_schema() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to update option values to a structured array value on the WordPress site. This can be leveraged to update an option that would create an error on the site and deny service to legitimate users or be used to set some values, that would, for example enable site user registration when it is explicitly disabled.

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.
