Description
The MetForm plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure via the 'form_id' attribute of the 'metform' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 4.3.0 due to render_form_content() passing any numeric ID to Elementor's get_builder_content_for_display() without checking that the post is a MetForm form or that the current user is allowed to read it. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to render and view the content of any Elementor-built post, page or template, including drafts, pending, scheduled, private and trashed posts belonging to other users. Password-protected posts are not exposed.
