Summary
The BuddyForms plugin for WordPress before 2.10.1 does not verify that a user editing an existing entry is the author of the target post. This allows users with edit access to a form, as low as Subscriber, to overwrite the title, content, and status of any other user's posts or pages, including those of administrators.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can modify or publish content on behalf of other users, potentially leading to misinformation and integrity violations of the site.
Recommendation
Update the BuddyForms plugin to version 2.10.1 or later. Until then, restrict form edit access and monitor post changes.
