Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Formie is a Craft CMS plugin for creating forms. Prior to 2.2.21 and 3.1.26, unauthenticated users could modify existing submissions by posting a known or guessed submission ID to formie/submissions/save-submission. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.2.21 and 3.1.26.

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 · high confidence

IDOR vulnerability in Formie plugin for Craft CMS allows unauthenticated attackers to modify existing form submissions by sending POST requests with known or guessed submission IDs to the formie/submissions/save-submission endpoint, enabling unauthorized data tampering.

MitigationUpgrade Formie plugin to version 2.2.21 or 3.1.26 or later to patch the insecure direct object reference vulnerability.

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 Formie plugin is installed
    In Craft CMS admin, go to Settings > Plugins, or check the /craft/plugins/ directory for the Formie plugin folder
    Affected if Formie plugin is not present in the Craft CMS installation
  2. Determine installed Formie version
    In Craft CMS admin, go to Settings > Plugins and note the version number displayed next to Formie. Alternatively, check the composer.json file in the Formie plugin directory for the 'version' field
    Affected if Version is below 2.2.21 for Craft CMS v2 installations, or below 3.1.26 for Craft CMS v3 installations
  3. Verify submission save endpoint is accessible
    Check if the endpoint /actions/formie/submissions/save-submission is reachable without authentication. This can be confirmed by examining the Craft CMS routing configuration or by attempting a POST request to this endpoint with a test submission ID while unauthenticated
    Affected if The endpoint accepts requests without requiring a logged-in user session
  4. Check for existing submissions with predictable IDs
    Review form submission logs or database tables (typically with a 'formie_submissions' prefix) to confirm whether submission IDs are sequential or predictable integers
    Affected if Submission IDs are sequential (e.g., 1, 2, 3...) making them guessable by unauthenticated users

A user is affected if Formie plugin is installed with version below 2.2.21 (v2) or below 3.1.26 (v3) AND the submission save endpoint is accessible to unauthenticated users, allowing modification of any submission if the ID is known or guessable.

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

Upgrade Formie plugin to version 2.2.21 or 3.1.26 or later to patch the insecure direct object reference vulnerability.

Recommended fix High confidence

Formie plugin version 2.2.21 (for Craft CMS 2.x) or 3.1.26 (for Craft CMS 3.x)

  1. Identify the currently installed version of the Formie plugin in your Craft CMS installation
  2. Determine which major version of Craft CMS (2.x or 3.x) is running, as Formie has separate release tracks for each
  3. Backup your database and files before performing any updates
  4. Update the Formie plugin to version 2.2.21 (for Craft 2.x) or version 3.1.26 (for Craft 3.x) via the Craft CMS control panel plugin store, or via Composer if using command-line management
  5. Verify the plugin updated successfully by checking the installed version in the control panel
  6. Test that the /formie/submissions/save-submission endpoint properly enforces authorization and rejects unauthorized modification attempts
