The HIPAA FORMS WordPress plugin before 3.2.0 contains a hardcoded authentication bypass via a hardcoded parameter alongside all AJAX requests. The server explicitly checks for this value to skip nonce validation entirely. This allows unauthenticated attackers to access protected AJAX endpoints.

Incorrect Authorization

The product performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check. This allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.
