Summary

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.
