What the vulnerability does
01Description
The Metform Elementor Contact Form Builder for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Disclosure via the 'mf_transaction_id' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 3.3.1. This allows authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level capabilities or above to obtain sensitive information about the transaction ids of arbitrary form submissions that included payment.
