CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Everest Forms WordPress plugin prior to version 3.5.0 is vulnerable due to improper access controls on its REST API endpoints, allowing unauthenticated attackers to bypass capability checks. This vulnerability enables attackers to read onboarding status, modify plugin options, and send emails from the site to arbitrary addresses. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize updating to version 3.5.0 or later to mitigate these risks.
Original NVD Description
The Everest Forms WordPress plugin before 3.5.0 does not correctly restrict access to several REST API endpoints belonging to its onboarding assistant: the capability check is only applied when an attacker-controllable request header holds a specific value, so it can be bypassed by omitting or changing that header. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read onboarding status information, modify the related Everest Forms WordPress plugin before 3.5.0 options, and trigger an email from the site to an arbitrary address.
