Formie: Missing authorization in administrative settings allows low-privileged CP users to modify plugin configuration
Formie contains a missing authorization vulnerability in administrative settings routes. An authenticated, non-admin Craft CMS control panel user with limited Formie access could directly access Formie settings pages and modify global plugin configuration.
