Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Contact Form Plugin by Fluent Forms for Quiz, Survey, and Drag & Drop WP Form Builder plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 5.1.16

Description The issue is related to a missing capability check on the "/wp-json/fluentform/v1/global-settings" REST API endpoint. This allows unauthenticated attackers to modify all of the plugin's settings.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 5.1.16, update to a version higher than 5.1.16 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "/wp-json/fluentform/v1/global-settings" API endpoint until a patch is available.
