Forced privileged actions via cross-site request forgery

Published Dec 13, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Cross-site request forgery in Strategy11 Formidable Forms 5.5.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to force privileged actions. The plugin accepts a crafted cross-origin request under a logged-in privileged user's session, but the affected endpoint and missing validation check are undisclosed. A privileged user must click a malicious link, visit a crafted page, or submit a form; Patchstack does not disclose the affected action or resulting data change.
