CVE-2026-6222
The Forminator Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to and including 1.51.1.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.43%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
The Forminator Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to and including 1.51.1. This is due to the `processRequest()` method in `Forminator_Admin_Module_Edit_Page` (admin/abstracts/class-admin-module-edit-page.php) dispatching sensitive module-management actions — including export, delete, clone, delete-entries, publish/draft, and bulk variants — after only a nonce check, without ever verifying that the current user holds the `manage_forminator_modules` capability. The nonce used (`forminator_form_request`) is unconditionally embedded in the global `forminatorData` JavaScript object and localized on every Forminator admin page, including Templates and Reports pages accessible to users who explicitly lack module-management permissions. Because `processRequest()` is invoked during the `admin_menu` action hook — which fires before WordPress enforces page-level capability checks — a user whose Forminator role is restricted to Templates or Reports can craft a valid POST request targeting any published module and successfully trigger the vulnerable actions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access (or any custom low-privilege Forminator role) to export the complete internal configuration of arbitrary forms/polls/quizzes (including notification routing, integration credentials, and conditional logic), delete modules, delete all submissions/votes, clone modules, or bulk-change publish/draft status.
