FKIE_CVE-2025-12535

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-11-19 07:15 - Updated: 2026-10-18 20:10
Summary
The SureForms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.13.1. This is due to the plugin distributing generic WordPress REST API nonces (wp_rest) to unauthenticated users via the 'wp_ajax_nopriv_rest-nonce' action. While the plugin legitimately needs to support unauthenticated form submissions, it incorrectly uses generic REST nonces instead of form-specific nonces. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass CSRF protection on REST API endpoints that rely solely on nonce verification without additional authentication checks, allowing them to trigger unauthorized actions such as the plugin's own post-submission hooks and potentially other plugins' REST endpoints.

Si bien el plugin necesita leg\u00edtimamente soportar env\u00edos de formularios no autenticados, utiliza incorrectamente nonces REST gen\u00e9ricos en lugar de nonces espec\u00edficos del formulario. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados eludan la protecci\u00f3n CSRF en los endpoints de la API REST que dependen \u00fanicamente de la verificaci\u00f3n de nonces sin comprobaciones de autenticaci\u00f3n adicionales, permiti\u00e9ndoles desencadenar acciones no autorizadas como los propios hooks de post-env\u00edo del plugin y potencialmente los endpoints REST de otros plugins."
