formie: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key
CVE-2026-76087 is a high-severity authorization bypass through user-controlled key vulnerability in formie from Verbb, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.2 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected formie versions: < 2.2.23; >= 3.0.0, < 3.1.31. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.41% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Check which version of formie you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
- Read the advisory on github.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
Formie is a Craft CMS plugin for creating forms. Prior to 2.2.23 and 3.1.31, Formie's anonymous formie/submissions/submit action in SubmissionsController::actionSubmit trusts a client-supplied submissionId when loading an incomplete submission without session binding, ownership validation, or a valid submissionEditToken. An unauthenticated attacker can enumerate sequential IDs and overwrite or hijack another user's in-progress multi-page or save-for-later submission, and the modified data can be persisted and forwarded through notifications or integrations when the submission is completed. This is an incomplete remediation of CVE-2026-47266 because that earlier change validated edit tokens for save-submission but did not protect submit. Completed submissions are excluded by the isIncomplete filter. This issue is fixed in versions 2.2.23 and 3.1.31.

The underlying weakness: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key
The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- For each and every data access, ensure that the user has sufficient privilege to access the record that is being requested.
- Make sure that the key that is used in the lookup of a specific user's record is not controllable externally by the user or that any tampering can be detected.
- Use encryption in order to make it more difficult to guess other legitimate values of the key or associate a digital signature with the key so that the server can verify that there has been no tampering.
