CVE-2026-1860 PUBLISHED

Kali Forms <= 2.4.8 - Insecure Direct Object Reference to Authenticated (Contributor+) Sensitive Form Data Exposure

Assigner: Wordfence
Reserved: 03.02.2026 Published: 18.02.2026 Updated: 18.02.2026

The Kali Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.8. This is due to the get_items_permissions_check() permission callback on the /kaliforms/v1/forms/{id} REST API endpoint only checking for the edit_posts capability without verifying that the requesting user has ownership or authorization over the specific form resource. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to read form configuration data belonging to other users (including administrators) by enumerating form IDs. Exposed data includes form field structures, Google reCAPTCHA secret keys (if configured), email notification templates, and server paths.
