Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in Forminator <= 1.53.1 versions.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-56071 is an unauthenticated Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting Forminator plugin versions up to 1.53.1. The issue stems from improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79), enabling attackers to inject malicious scripts without authentication. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.1, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, and scope change with partial impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the affected web application, potentially leading to partial disclosure of sensitive information, modification of data, and disruption of service availability. The vulnerability requires user interaction but no authentication, increasing its risk profile.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, consider applying temporary mitigations such as input validation or disabling vulnerable features if feasible. Monitor vendor channels for updates.
