## What is CVE-2026-87068?

CVE-2026-87068 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Unknown Forminator Forms, published on 20 Sep 2026. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.

The Forminator Forms  WordPress plugin before 1.57.2.1 does not apply the role validation it enforces elsewhere when a registration form is nested inside an imported quiz, allowing a user who may import quizzes to publish a live, publicly reachable form that grants any role, including administrator, to anyone who submits it. The same user is refused an identical form through both the ordinary form editor and the ordinary form import.
