CVE-2026-0996

Fluent Forms <= 6.1.14 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via AI Form Builder Module

Published Feb 10, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.4 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The Fluent Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the AI Form Builder module in all versions up to, and including, 6.1.14 due to a combination of missing authorization checks, a leaked nonce, and insufficient input sanitization. The vulnerability allows Subscriber-level users to trigger AI form generation via a protected endpoint. When prompted, AI services will typically return bare JavaScript code (without <script> tags), which bypasses the plugin's sanitization. This stored JavaScript executes whenever anyone views the generated form, making it possible for authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts that will execute in the context of any user accessing the form.

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

The Fluent Forms plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross-site scripting flaw in its AI Form Builder module. The vulnerability arises from missing authorization checks, a leaked nonce, and inadequate input sanitization, allowing authenticated users with Subscriber role or higher to trigger an AI form generation endpoint that returns raw JavaScript. Since the plugin fails to escape the response, the resulting script is stored and executed whenever any visitor loads the form, giving attackers the ability to run arbitrary code in the context of all site users.

Affected Systems

All installations of techjewel’s Fluent Forms – Customizable Contact Forms, Survey, Quiz, & Conversational Form Builder plugin built up to and including version 6.1.14 are affected. Any WordPress site that incorporates this plugin and grants Subscriber or higher access can be impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates medium severity, while the EPSS score below 1% suggests a very low likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. An attacker only needs authenticated access at the Subscriber level or higher. After exploiting the flaw, the injected JavaScript runs for every user who views the compromised form, potentially leading to session hijacking, data theft, or defacement.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Fluent Forms to a version newer than 6.1.14 when available
  • Temporarily disable the AI Form Builder feature until an official patch is released
  • Scan existing forms for injected scripts and manually remove any harmful code
  • Review role permissions to ensure only trusted users have access to the AI form endpoint
