CVE-2024-5053

Contact Form Plugin by Fluent Forms for Quiz, Survey, and Drag & Drop WP Form Builder <= 5.1.18 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Mailchimp Integration Modification

Description

The Contact Form Plugin by Fluent Forms for Quiz, Survey, and Drag & Drop WP Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized Malichimp API key update due to an insufficient capability check on the verifyRequest function in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.18.

At the same time, missing Mailchimp API key validation allows the redirect of the integration requests to the attacker-controlled server.
