Summary
The SureForms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.13.1 via the '_srfm_email_notification' post meta registration. This is due to setting the 'auth_callback' parameter to '__return_true', which allows unauthenticated access to the metadata. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data including email notification configurations, which frequently contain vendor-provided CRM/help desk dropbox addresses, CC/BCC recipients, and notification templates.
Risk Assessment
Exposed configurations can be abused to inject malicious data into downstream systems. This may lead to phishing, spam, or further attacks on external systems.
Recommendation
Update the SureForms plugin to a version later than 1.13.1. Check whether exposed notification configurations have been used to inject malicious data.

- CVE-2026-7623Medium
The SureForms plugin for WordPress up to version 2.8.1 has a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability via the 'headingWrapper' parameter due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

- CVE-2026-11567Medium
The SureForms WordPress plugin before version 2.11.1 does not properly validate the payment amount on forms that use a dynamically-sourced (variable/hidden) payment amount, allowing unauthenticated users to underpay for the configured product or subscription. Forms using a fixed configured price are not affected.
- CVE-2026-15288High
The SureForms plugin for WordPress up to version 2.2.1 has an improper input validation vulnerability. The 'create_payment_intent' and 'create_subscription_intent' functions accept payment amounts directly from POST data without validating against the form's configured price, allowing unauthenticated attackers to modify the payment amount.
