Summary
Everest Forms (Contact Form, Payment Form, Quiz, Survey & Custom Form Builder with AI) for WordPress is affected in all versions from 0 through 3.6.2. Missing validation of a user-controlled key in the get_entry function lets attackers bypass authorization (CWE-639). An authenticated attacker with custom-level access or above can view, read and permanently delete forms and entries of other users, including personal data submitted through contact and lead forms, regardless of form ownership.
