Unauthorized unpublished form submissions via unchecked AJAX handler
Published Nov 27, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Missing authorization in WPMU DEV Hustle 7.8.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to submit unpublished forms without authentication. The submit_form() AJAX handler accepts requests for unpublished modules without checking whether the requester has permission to use the form. Any network visitor who can reach the WordPress AJAX endpoint can create unauthorized submissions, affecting stored form data but not confidentiality or availability.
