Unauthenticated site takeover via unchecked REST options writes
Published Oct 11, 2026 · Updated Oct 11, 2026
Missing authorization in click5 CRM add-on to Ninja Forms 1.0.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to change options via REST requests. The options-update endpoint lacks authorization and CSRF checks and accepts options outside the add-on's settings. Unauthenticated access to this endpoint allows changes that enable creation of an administrator account and site takeover.
