Detailsinfo
A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in techjewel Fluent Forms Plugin 6.1.21 on WordPress. This affects an unknown code of the component AJAX Endpoint. The manipulation of the argument submission_id with an unknown input leads to a authorization vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-639. The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:
The Fluent Forms – Customizable Contact Forms, Survey, Quiz, & Conversational Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference via the 'submission_id' parameter in versions up to, and including, 6.1.21. This is due to missing authorization and ownership validation on a user controlled key in the Stripe SCA confirmation AJAX endpoint. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify payment status of targeted pending submissions (for example, setting the status to "failed").
