Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check installed Bit Form plugin versionNavigate to WordPress dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins. Locate 'Bit Form' or 'Bit Form Pro' and note the version number displayed. Alternatively, check the plugin header in wp-content/plugins/bit-form/includes/index.php or the main plugin file.Affected if Version listed is 2.6.4 or lower (any version up to and including 2.6.4)
-
Confirm plugin is activeIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins. Verify that Bit Form or Bit Form Pro shows as 'Active' under the plugin status.Affected if Plugin is active and version is <= 2.6.4 - the vulnerability only applies to active installations
-
Review user role access to form builderGo to Bit Form settings or form management pages. Check which WordPress user roles (Administrator, Editor, Author, etc.) have access to create, edit, or delete forms. Note any roles that should not have such access.Affected if Users with lower-privileged roles (such as Author or Subscriber) can access form builder or form management functions they should not be able to access
-
Inspect form submission access controlsCreate a new form or edit an existing one in Bit Form. Check the form settings for any options controlling who can view, edit, or submit forms. Verify these restrictions are enforced.Affected if Form access controls can be bypassed or are not properly enforced for non-administrative users
-
Check for unauthorized form modificationsReview existing forms in the Bit Form dashboard. Look for forms created or modified by users who should not have administrative-level access based on their WordPress role.Affected if Forms exist that were created or modified by users lacking proper administrative permissions
Your environment is affected if the Bit Form plugin version is 2.6.4 or lower and the plugin is active, as the incorrect authorization vulnerability allows privilege escalation within the form builder.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpdate to the latest version of Bit Form Pro when a patch becomes available. Until then, restrict administrative access to trusted personnel and monitor for unauthorized access attempts to form management functions.
