PatchSiren cyber security CVE debrief
CVE-2026-15550 Saturday Drive CVE debrief
The Ninja Forms - Save Progress plugin for WordPress has a Missing Authorization vulnerability in versions up to 3.0.30. Authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access can delete arbitrary database records from the 'wp_nf3_objects' table, such as saved submissions. This issue arises from the lack of capability checks and nonce verification in the 'bulk_actions' function. To verify and mitigate, defenders should review access controls and nonce verification for the 'bulk_actions' function and restrict access to the 'wp_nf3_objects' table. The evidence is limited to public CVE and NVD records, which may not cover all affected deployments or configurations. WordPress administrators and users with subscriber-level access who use the Ninja Forms - Save Progress plugin should verify and restrict access to the 'wp_nf3_objects' table and review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified.

Who should care
WordPress administrators and users with subscriber-level access who use the Ninja Forms - Save Progress plugin are affected by this vulnerability. They should verify and restrict access to the 'wp_nf3_objects' table and review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified. Security teams should monitor for suspicious activity on the 'wp_nf3_objects' table and track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented. Vulnerability management teams should review access controls and nonce verification for the 'bulk_actions' function and restrict access to the 'wp_nf3_objects' table.
Why it matters
The vulnerability allows authenticated attackers to delete arbitrary database records, requiring verification and restriction of access to the 'wp_nf3_objects' table.
- Authenticated attackers can delete arbitrary database records
- Requires verification of access controls and nonce verification
Technical summary
The Ninja Forms - Save Progress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to 3.0.30. This is due to the lack of capability checks and nonce verification in the 'bulk_actions' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary database records from the 'wp_nf3_objects' table, such as saved submissions. The vulnerability requires verification of access controls and nonce verification to restrict access to the 'wp_nf3_objects' table.
Defensive priority
Verify and restrict access to the 'wp_nf3_objects' table.
Recommended defensive actions
- Verify and restrict access to the 'wp_nf3_objects' table.
- Restrict access to the Ninja Forms - Save Progress plugin.
- Monitor for suspicious activity on the 'wp_nf3_objects' table.
- Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified.
- Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review.
- Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented.
- Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up.
Evidence notes
The vulnerability is due to lacking capability checks and nonce verification in the 'bulk_actions' function. This issue allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access and above to delete arbitrary database records from the 'wp_nf3_objects' table, such as saved submissions. To verify, defenders should review access controls and nonce verification for the 'bulk_actions' function and restrict access to the 'wp_nf3_objects' table. The evidence is limited to public CVE and NVD records, which may not cover all affected deployments or configurations.
