The Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder WordPress plugin suffers from a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) identified as CVE-2025-0470. This vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically insufficient sanitization and escaping of the 'title' parameter. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious URL that, when clicked by a user, executes arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the affected site. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 1.38.2. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.1, with attack vector network, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, scope changed, and low impact on confidentiality and integrity.

Successful exploitation can lead to execution of arbitrary scripts in the context of the victim's browser, potentially allowing theft of sensitive information or session tokens, or manipulation of the user interface. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. There are no reports of active exploitation in the wild at this time.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should exercise caution with untrusted input and consider disabling or restricting use of the affected plugin. Monitor the vendor's channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
