CVE-2026-3642
CWE-862Published: April 15, 2026· Updated: Apr 15, 2026
Official Description
The e-shot™ form builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to and including 1.0.2. The eshot_form_builder_update_field_data() AJAX handler lacks any capability checks (current_user_can()) or nonce verification (check_ajax_referer()/wp_verify_nonce()). The function is registered via the wp_ajax_ hook, making it accessible to any authenticated user. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to modify form field configurations including mandatory status, field visibility, and form display preferences via the eshot_form_builder_update_field_data AJAX action.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-3642 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
