What the vulnerability does

01Description

The Form Notify plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in versions up to and including 1.1.10. This is due to the plugin trusting user-controlled cookie data to determine which WordPress account to authenticate after a LINE OAuth login. When LINE doesn't provide an email address (which is common), the plugin falls back to reading the 'form_notify_line_email' cookie value without verifying that the LINE account is associated with that email address. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to gain access to any user account on the site, including administrator accounts, by completing a LINE OAuth flow with their own LINE account while injecting a malicious cookie containing the target victim's email address.

Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms

02Summary

Form Notify for Any Forms versions 1.1.10 and earlier do not properly authenticate requests, allowing unauthenticated attackers to access the plugin's functionality over the network without any user interaction. An attacker can read sensitive form submission data, modify form settings, or disrupt form operations. All installations of this plugin require immediate update.
