Forminator Forms Reflected Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Forminator Forms plugin for WordPress, specifically in versions through 1.38.2. The issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts would execute if the attacker successfully convinced a user to perform an action, such as clicking a link,

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for reflected cross-site scripting, where an attacker can inject malicious scripts that are executed in the context of the user's browser.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a request to a page that uses Forminator Forms version 1.38.2 or earlier, including the title parameter with the injected script. If the request is successful, the injected script will execute in the user's browser.

Remediation

Users are advised to update the Forminator Forms plugin to version 1.38.3 or later.
