Description
The Fluent Forms WordPress plugin before 6.2.6 does not sanitise and escape one of its form field configuration settings before outputting it inside an inline script when a form is rendered, which could allow users with a role as low as Contributor (with delegated form-management permission, and therefore lacking the unfiltered_html capability, e.g. in a multisite setup) to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks that execute in the browser of any visitor who loads the form, including administrators previewing it.

Impact

The Fluent Forms WordPress plugin before version 6.2.6 fails to sanitize a form field configuration setting that is output inside an inline script, a flaw identified as CWE‑79, a classic client‑side stored XSS vulnerability. A contributor who manages forms can inject arbitrary JavaScript into this setting. When the form is rendered the injected code executes in the browsers of any visitor who loads the form, including administrators previewing it.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that use the Fluent Forms plugin with any version earlier than 6.2.6. The flaw is exploitable by users who hold a Contributor role or higher with form‑management permissions but lack the unfiltered_html capability, such as in a multisite environment.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.1 indicates moderate severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1 % suggests a low likelihood of exploitation at present. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers would need to create or alter a form’s date/time field configuration through the WordPress admin interface. Once the malicious script is stored, any visitor who loads that form—regardless of their role—will have the script executed in their browser.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Fluent Forms plugin to version 6.2.6 or later.
  • After upgrading, recreate the affected forms to ensure no residual malicious configuration remains.
  • Limit Contributor privileges to trusted users only, and audit form configurations for unexpected changes.
