CVE-2026-4281 — FormLift for Infusionsoft Web Forms security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 5.3

The FormLift for Infusionsoft Web Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 7.5.21. This is due to missing capability checks on the connect() and listen_for_tokens() methods of the FormLift_Infusionsoft_Manager class, both of which are hooked to 'plugins_loaded' and execute on every page load. The connect() function generates an OAuth connection password and leaks it in the redirect Location header without verifying the requesting user is authenticated or authorized. The listen_for_tokens() function only validates the temporary password but performs no user authentication before calling update_option() to save attacker-controlled OAuth tokens and app domain. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to hijack the site's Infusionsoft connection by first triggering the OAuth flow to obtain the temporary password, then using that password to set arbitrary OAuth tokens and app domain via update_option(), effectively redirecting the plugin's API communication to an attacker-controlled server.

Matched remediation archetype

Authorization bypass, IDOR, and cross-tenant access

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Map object and action authorization checks across API, UI, batch, import/export, and background-job paths.
  • Identify tenant, ownership, role, and policy boundaries for affected resources and administrative operations.
  • Use synthetic fixtures to compare intended access matrices without accessing another user's real data.

Remediate safely

  • Enforce server-side authorization at each resource access and state transition using the authenticated principal and trusted tenant context.
  • Scope data queries by tenant and ownership; treat client-supplied identifiers, roles, and policy claims as untrusted.
  • Add deny-by-default policy tests for horizontal and vertical access across every affected transport.
