Forminator Forms Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability for WordPress

A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Forminator Forms plugin for WordPress, specifically in versions through 1.50.2. This issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, allowing authenticated attackers with administrator-level access to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts would execute when a user accesses the affected page. Additionally, the plugin's permission settings could enable lower-level users, such as subscribers, to exploit this vulnerability.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for stored cross-site scripting, where injected scripts are executed in the context of the user viewing the page.

Remediation

Users are advised to update the Forminator Forms plugin to version 1.50.3 or a newer patched version.
