Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Thanh Lam Tang.

The Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to 1.57.0.7. This is due to insufficient restriction on the capabilities a user may grant themselves. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom role-level access and above, to elevate their privileges beyond those intended for their role.
