## What is CVE-2026-6214?

CVE-2026-6214 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in wpmudev Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder, published on 7 May 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The Forminator Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to and including 1.53.0. This is due to the listen_for_saving_export_schedule() function in library/class-export.php failing to perform a capability check before saving the scheduled export configuration, unlike the parallel listen_for_csv_export() function which correctly verifies user permissions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access to configure a scheduled export job that emails all form submissions to an attacker-controlled email address, resulting in sensitive data exfiltration.

Weakness: CWE-862 (Missing Authorization)
