Description
The SureForms – Drag and Drop Contact Form Builder – Multi-step Forms, Conversational Forms and more plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized creation of forms due to a missing capability check on the register_post_types() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.12.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to create forms when the user interface specifically prohibits it.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the SureForms WordPress plugin to version 1.12.1 or later, which restricts the capability to create and manage forms to users with the 'manage_options' permission (typically administrators). This update modifies the custom post type registration to enforce proper capability checks, preventing Contributor-level users from unauthorized form creation. [1]

Executive Summary

This vulnerability in the SureForms WordPress plugin allows authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher to create forms even though the user interface prohibits it. This happens because the plugin lacks a proper capability check in the register_post_types() function, enabling unauthorized creation of forms.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can allow users with lower privileges (Contributor-level) to create forms without proper authorization. This could lead to unauthorized content being added to the website, potentially causing management issues or misuse of the form functionality.
