CVE-2026-2688 PUBLISHED

CM HIPAA Forms < 3.2.0 - Unauthenticated Authorization Bypass

Assigner: WPScan
Reserved: 18.02.2026 Published: 02.09.2026 Updated: 02.09.2026

The HIPAA FORMS WordPress plugin before 3.2.0 contains a hardcoded authentication bypass via a hardcoded parameter alongside all AJAX requests. The server explicitly checks for this value to skip nonce validation entirely. This allows unauthenticated attackers to access protected AJAX endpoints.
