Description
The Fluent Forms – Customizable Contact Forms, Survey, Quiz, & Conversational Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Name Field Nested `password` Member in all versions up to, and including, 6.2.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw in the Fluent Forms plugin allows an attacker to inject malicious script code into the 'Name' field that contains a nested 'password' element. Because the input is not properly sanitized or escaped before being stored, the script becomes permanently embedded in the form data and will execute in any browser that loads a page containing the compromised form entry. Based on the description, it is inferred that such stored cross‑site scripting could lead to session hijacking, credential theft, defacement, or execution of arbitrary client‑side code against site visitors.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running wpmanageninja:Fluent Forms – Customizable Contact Forms, Survey, Quiz, & Conversational Form Builder versions up to and including 6.2.7 are affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.2 indicates a high severity vulnerability, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests that real‑world exploitation is currently rare but possible. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. A likely attack vector is an unauthenticated actor submitting a crafted form entry; the malicious script is stored and subsequently rendered for any user who views the form, making it a purely client‑side impact but capable of compromising the session cookies of unsuspecting visitors.

Generated by OpenCVE AI on August 4, 2026 at 12:32 UTC.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Fluent Forms to version 6.2.8 or newer, where the native input sanitization has been corrected.
  • Block unauthenticated form submissions by enabling the plugin’s submission restriction setting or by applying a firewall rule that rejects form posts from anonymous users.
  • Configure a strict Content Security Policy header that disallows inline scripts and restricts script sources to approved domains to mitigate any remaining script execution.
