## Technical details

The WCFM – Frontend Manager for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress contains a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the wcfm-my-account-enquiry-manage controller branch. Unlike other inquiry controllers, this specific branch fails to implement is_user_logged_in() or current_user_can() checks. Furthermore, the security nonce used for validation is exposed on public page loads, allowing unauthenticated network attackers to bypass the only existing barrier. Exploitation allows an attacker to overwrite inquiry records in the wp_wcfm_enquiries table, inject arbitrary reply content, and trigger automated notification emails.
