CVE-2026-87068 Details
Description
The Forminator Forms WordPress plugin before 1.57.2.1 does not apply the role validation it enforces elsewhere when a registration form is nested inside an imported quiz, allowing a user who may import quizzes to publish a live, publicly reachable form that grants any role, including administrator, to anyone who submits it. The same user is refused an identical form through both the ordinary form editor and the ordinary form import.
A privilege escalation vulnerability has been identified in the Forminator Forms WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 1.57.2.1. The issue arises because the plugin fails to apply role validation for registration forms nested within imported quizzes. This flaw allows users who can import quizzes to create a live, publicly accessible form that can grant any role, including administrator, to individuals who submit it. Notably, the same user would be denied the ability to create an identical form through the standard form editor or regular form import.
Users are advised to update the Forminator Forms WordPress plugin to version 1.57.2.1 or later.
