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.
-
Locate Forminator plugin versionIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and find Forminator, or check the plugin's main PHP file header for the Version field, or use wp-cli: wp plugin list --name=forminator --format=tableAffected if Version displayed is 1.50.2 or lower (any version through 1.50.2)
-
Confirm plugin is activeCheck that the Forminator plugin status shows as 'Active' in Plugins > Installed Plugins, or run: wp plugin status forminatorAffected if Plugin is installed and active (inactive installations are not exploitable)
-
Verify WordPress user roles existCheck that the site has multiple user roles configured (Administrator, Editor, Subscriber, etc.) by visiting Users > All Users in WordPress admin, or using wp-cli: wp user listAffected if Multiple user roles are present (the missing authorization affects role-based access checks)
-
Identify sensitive Forminator features in useReview installed Forminator forms, polls, and quizzes by navigating to Forminator > My Forms, Forminator > My Polls, and Forminator > My Quizzes in the WordPress admin dashboardAffected if Any public-facing forms, polls, or quizzes are created and published (the vulnerability allows unauthorized access to these features)
-
Check for exposed admin actionsInspect Forminator settings for any features that allow frontend submission processing, or review server access logs for requests to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=forminator... endpoints that may lack authorization checksAffected if AJAX actions related to Forminator are accessible without proper capability verification
The environment is affected if Forminator plugin version is 1.50.2 or lower and the plugin is active with published forms or accessible endpoints.
