Description
The Fluent Forms Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `fluentform_step_form_save_data` AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 6.1.17. This is due to the draft form submission endpoint being publicly accessible without authentication or nonce verification, combined with insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of form field data. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever an administrator views a partial form entry.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to submit JavaScript payloads via the public AJAX action fluentform_step_form_save_data. The injected code is stored with the form draft data and executed whenever an administrator views a partial form entry, enabling client‑side code execution in privileged sessions.

Affected Systems

Fluent Forms Pro Add On Pack for WordPress, versions up through 6.1.17, is affected. The draft form submission endpoint lacks authentication or nonce verification, making all versions in this range vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 7.2 indicates high severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low current likelihood of exploitation, and the issue is not present in the KEV catalog. Exploitation is straightforward: an attacker submits a malicious payload through the accessible AJAX endpoint, which is then stored and rendered unescaped in the admin view, leading to XSS in the administrator's browser. The lack of authentication significantly lowers the barrier to attack, but the low EPSS indicates that active exploitation remains limited.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Fluent Forms Pro to a version newer than 6.1.17 that includes the XSS fix
  • If an update is not yet available, modify the plugin or server configuration to restrict the fluentform_step_form_save_data action to authenticated users only, ensuring nonce verification is enforced
  • Verify that any stored form data is properly sanitized and escaped before rendering to prevent unintended script execution
