Technical details

The NEX-Forms plugin for WordPress (versions up to 9.2.2) fails to implement proper authorization checks on its reporting functionality. This missing authorization (CWE-862) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to perform ID enumeration on sequential report IDs. By iterating through these IDs, an attacker can download full form submission records, which include PII such as names, emails, addresses, and payment details, as well as paths to uploaded files. The vulnerability is exploitable via direct network requests without any prior authentication or user interaction.
