Missing Authorization vulnerability in CRM Perks WP Insightly for Contact Form 7, WPForms, Elementor, Formidable and Ninja Forms cf7-insightly allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects WP Insightly for Contact Form 7, WPForms, Elementor, Formidable and Ninja Forms: from n/a through <= 1.1.5.

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 the WP Insightly WordPress plugin (cf7-insightly) that allows exploiting incorrectly configured access control security levels. The plugin fails to properly verify user permissions before allowing access to sensitive CRM data or form submission data integrated with Insightly, potentially allowing authenticated users (with low-level WordPress roles) to access or manipulate data they should not have access to.

MitigationImplement proper capability checks and authorization verification for all sensitive operations in the plugin. Ensure that user roles and permissions are validated before allowing access to Insightly CRM data or form submissions.

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. Verify WP Insightly plugin is installed
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and search for 'Insightly' or 'cf7-insightly'. Alternatively, check the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder named 'cf7-insightly' or similar Insightly-related plugin folder.
    Affected if The plugin is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Check plugin version
    In WordPress admin > Plugins, find the Insightly plugin and note the version number displayed. Compare against any known affected version ranges from CVE documentation.
    Affected if The installed version falls within an affected range (if known) or is an untested version
  3. Identify accessible endpoints
    Check the plugin directory for REST API routes (usually in main plugin PHP file or dedicated API class). Common paths: look for 'register_rest_route' calls or AJAX action handlers (admin-ajax.php?action=...) related to Insightly data retrieval.
    Affected if The plugin exposes API endpoints or AJAX actions that handle CRM data without visible capability checks
  4. Test low-privilege access
    Create or use a WordPress user with a low-level role (e.g., Subscriber). Attempt to access plugin endpoints that retrieve or manipulate Insightly CRM data or form submissions, using browser developer tools or a REST client.
    Affected if Low-privilege users can access, view, or modify sensitive Insightly data without receiving a permission denied error

The environment is affected if the WP Insightly plugin is installed and low-privilege authenticated users can access sensitive CRM data through the plugin's unprotected endpoints.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Implement proper capability checks and authorization verification for all sensitive operations in the plugin. Ensure that user roles and permissions are validated before allowing access to Insightly CRM data or form submissions.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Latest available version (check WordPress plugin repository or vendor for 1.1.6 or higher)

  1. Check the WordPress admin dashboard for updates to the WP Insightly plugin
  2. Update WP Insightly for Contact Form 7, WPForms, Elementor, Formidable and Ninja Forms to the latest available version
  3. Verify the update was successful by confirming the new version number in the plugins list
  4. Test that form submissions still work correctly after the update
  5. Review user roles and permissions to ensure proper access controls are in place
