CVE-2026-5396 Details
Description
The Fluent Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in all versions up to, and including, 6.1.21. This is due to the SubmissionPolicy class authorizing submission-level actions (read, modify, delete, add notes) based on a user-supplied `form_id` query parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Fluent Forms Manager access restricted to specific forms, to read, modify status, add notes to, and permanently delete form submissions belonging to any other form by spoofing the form_id parameter to a form they are authorized for.
A vulnerability exists in the Fluent Forms plugin for WordPress, in all versions up to and including 6.1.21, allowing for authorization bypass through user-controlled 'form_id' parameters. The issue arises in the SubmissionPolicy class, which authorizes actions related to form submissions based on the 'form_id' provided by the user. This vulnerability enables authenticated attackers with Fluent Forms Manager access limited to certain forms, to manipulate submissions of other forms by falsifying the 'form_id' parameter.
Users are advised to update the Fluent Forms plugin to version 6.2.0 or later.
