CVE-2026-4987: SureForms <= 2.5.2 - Unauthenticated Payment Amount Validation Bypass via form_id

id: CVE-2026-4987

info:
  name: SureForms <= 2.5.2 - Unauthenticated Payment Amount Validation Bypass via form_id
  author: iamatownboy
  severity: high
  description: |
    The SureForms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to payment amount validation bypass in versions up to, and including, 2.5.2.
    The create_payment_intent AJAX handler checks `if ($form_id > 0 && !empty($block_id))` before calling validate_payment_amount().
    By sending form_id=0 (the default intval of a missing/zero value), an unauthenticated attacker completely skips the server-side
    amount validation and can create Stripe payment intents with arbitrary amounts, bypassing configured pricing.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can create underpriced payment or subscription intents and complete purchases at fraudulent prices.
  remediation: |
    Update SureForms to version 2.6.0 or later.
