Unauthenticated connection hijack via unchecked OAuth flow
Published Mar 26, 2026 · Updated Mar 26, 2026
Missing authorization in FormLift for Keap (Legacy) Web Forms 7.5.21 and earlier allows remote attackers to hijack its Keap connection. The plugins_loaded connect() handler exposes a generated OAuth password in a redirect, while listen_for_tokens() accepts it without authenticating the requester before update_option() stores attacker-supplied tokens and an app domain. Triggering the OAuth flow is sufficient to redirect the plugin's API traffic to an attacker-controlled server.
