Missing Authorization vulnerability in flothemesplugins Flo Forms flo-forms allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Flo Forms: from n/a through <= 1.0.43.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Missing authorization vulnerability in Flo Forms plugin allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels, potentially enabling unauthorized access to form functionalities that should require authentication or specific user privileges.

MitigationUpdate Flo Forms to the latest version after 1.0.43 which should contain the authorization fix, or implement proper access control checks on all form-related actions and endpoints.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm Flo Forms plugin is installed
    Check your WordPress plugins directory or admin panel to verify the Flo Forms plugin is active on the site
    Affected if Flo Forms plugin is installed and active on the WordPress site
  2. Identify installed Flo Forms version
    Look up the installed Flo Forms version in the WordPress plugin admin panel, readme file, or plugin header via file inspection
    Affected if The installed version is 1.0.43 or earlier, as versions after 1.0.43 contain the authorization fix
  3. Inspect form endpoint accessibility
    Test accessing form-related URLs and endpoints (such as form submission, management, or data retrieval endpoints) without authentication
    Affected if Form endpoints are accessible without proper authentication or user privilege verification
  4. Review access control configuration
    Check the Flo Forms plugin settings for any security level, permission, or access control configurations related to form actions and data access
    Affected if Access control settings are missing, misconfigured, or allow public access to privileged form functionalities
  5. Verify user role enforcement
    Attempt form operations using a low-privilege or unauthenticated user account to test if proper role-based access controls are enforced
    Affected if Unauthenticated or low-privilege users can perform actions that should require higher-level permissions

You are affected if Flo Forms plugin is installed with version 1.0.43 or earlier, or if form access controls are misconfigured to allow unauthorized access to authenticated features.
