The FormBuilder plugin lacks a CSRF (nonce) token on the request of saving permissions. Because of this an attacker is able to change permission settings for the plugin. To achieve this a logged on WordPress Administrator must be lured into following a malicious link. Proof of Concept code that demonstrates this issue can be found below.
Proof of concept
The Proof of Concept code below injects script code in the "Login Required Message" in the settings page of the FormBuilder plugin.
