JetFormBuilder for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of JetEngine Options Page values due to a missing capability check o
Overview
JetFormBuilder for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of JetEngine Options Page values due to a missing capability check on the Update_Options action. Unauthenticated attackers can alter site configuration when an admin has enabled the Update Options post‑submission action. This flaw allows attackers to tamper with critical settings without logging in.
Description
The JetFormBuilder — Dynamic Blocks Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'do_action' function in the 'Update_Options' action class in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.2. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify JetEngine Options Page values when an administrator has configured a form with the "Update Options" post-submission action. The vulnerability requires that both JetFormBuilder and JetEngine are installed and active, and that an administrator has specifically configured a form with the Update Options action.
Impact
The vulnerability compromises the integrity of site configuration, potentially leading to misconfigured forms, broken functionality, or unauthorized data exposure. Administrators and site owners are directly impacted as they may unknowingly allow attackers to change settings. Users may experience degraded service or incorrect form behavior.
Remediation
Upgrade JetFormBuilder and JetEngine to the latest versions (≥3.6.3). If an update is not possible, disable the Update Options action or restrict it to users with the 'manage_options' capability. Verify role permissions and monitor logs for unexpected changes. Apply any vendor patches as soon as they are released.
Risk context
The issue has a medium severity rating (CVSS 5.3) and no EPSS data is available. While it does not allow direct code execution, the ability to modify configuration can lead to significant operational impact. Defenders should treat it as a moderate risk that warrants timely patching.
