CVE-2023-51524Network attack vector

Subscriber-level form-entry disclosure via unchecked export

Published Jun 12, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Missing authorization in BoldGrid weForms 1.6.18 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to export stored form entries. The export_form_entries function processes entry-export requests without a capability check, allowing subscriber-level accounts to retrieve CSV data. A valid WordPress account with Subscriber access is required, and the consequence is limited to reading stored form-submission data.
