Technical details
The vulnerability is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) within the front-end submission-editing functionality of the RegistrationMagic plugin. Specifically, the plugin does not validate the ownership or authorization of a user attempting to edit a submission via the 'rm_user_form_edit_sub' action, nor does it use nonces to prevent CSRF or unauthorized requests. An unauthenticated attacker can send a crafted POST request to the site's submission page, targeting a specific 'submission_id'. If the submission is linked to a non-administrator WordPress account via an email address, the attacker can overwrite both the form data and the associated WordPress user's profile fields (first name, last name, and display name). This issue is resolved in version 6.0.9.4.
