Subscriber private-message disclosure via IDOR
Published Aug 22, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Information disclosure in WPQA Builder Forms Addon for WordPress before 5.7 allows remote authenticated users to read private messages via message IDs. The private-message display handler accepts a caller-supplied message identifier without checking that the requesting account owns the message, enabling direct object reference access. A logged-in subscriber-level account can brute-force identifiers; the documented consequence is disclosure of other users' private messages without modification or service interruption.
