Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Charles Vosburgh.

The Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to 1.58.4. This is due to insufficient restriction on the capabilities a user may grant themselves. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to elevate their privileges beyond those intended for their role.
