Description

CVE-2026-85641 is a medium severity vulnerability in the Formidable Forms WordPress plugin versions 6.34 up to but not including 6.35. It allows unauthenticated users to set the identifier that records which user last edited a form entry. This identifier is used to decide whether to strip HTML from stored entry values. As a result, attackers can have markup rendered in the admin entry view that would normally be removed and can attribute their submission to an administrator who did not make it.
