CVE-2026-2002: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in wpmudev Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder
The Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the form_name parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.50.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The plugin allows admins to give form management permissions to lower level users, which could make this exploitable by users such as subscribers.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder WordPress plugin suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability due to improper neutralization of input in the form_name parameter. This vulnerability allows authenticated users with high privileges to inject malicious scripts that persist and execute in the context of users viewing the injected content. The plugin's design permits administrators to delegate form management permissions to lower-level users, potentially broadening the scope of exploitation. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, high attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with administrator-level access can inject persistent malicious scripts via the form_name parameter, which execute in the browsers of users who access the affected pages. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity compromise within the context of the affected site. The vulnerability could be exploited by lower-privileged users if granted form management permissions by administrators. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict form management permissions strictly to trusted administrators to prevent lower-privileged users from exploiting this vulnerability. Monitor for updates from the vendor regarding patches or official fixes.
