Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-80438 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Ninja Forms. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-80438/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-80438/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-80438","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-80438/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-80438","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-px74-7f5f-fv49"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users with specific capabilities can read sensitive data and modify arbitrary posts due to insufficient authorization checks in the REST API.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"The Ninja Forms  WordPress plugin before 3.15.2 does not restrict its REST abilities to administrators, accepting a Ninja Forms  WordPress plugin before 3.15.2-specific capability as equivalent to full site administration, which allows any user granted that capability to read Ninja Forms  WordPress plugin before 3.15.2 settings and stored form submissions, overwrite the Ninja Forms  WordPress plugin before 3.15.2's configuration, and create or modify arbitrary posts and pages.\nThe capability belongs to no default WordPress role and the Ninja Forms  WordPress plugin before 3.15.2 never grants it, so an administrator must have assigned it, typically when delegating access to the form builder.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Missing authorization in Ninja Forms","id":"CVE-2026-80438","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in Redirection for Contact Form 7","id":"CVE-2026-80439"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Ninja Forms 3.14.10 - 3.15.1 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary Shortcode Execution via IP and Referer Merge Tags","id":"CVE-2026-80437"},"products":["Ninja Forms"],"published":"2026-09-04","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-04","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Authenticated users with specific capabilities can read sensitive data and modify arbitrary posts due to insufficient authorization checks in the REST API.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-80438/"}
