Description
The Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability restriction on the 'ma_forms' custom post type in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.2. The post type is exposed through the REST API and left its primitive 'read' capability at the default, which every logged-in user holds, so published form posts could be read by low-privileged users. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to read form configurations through the REST API.
