Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Rafie Muhammad.
The Ninja Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the processing() function in versions up to, and including, 3.6.25. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to export form submissions via the nf_download_all_subs AJAX action.
