AI-suggested

A fix is available in Forminator Forms version 1.57.2.1. Users should update to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability.

Description

The Forminator Forms WordPress plugin before 1.57.2.1 does not restrict which metadata keys a form submission may supply, and does not exclude the keys WordPress reserves for its own use, so unauthenticated visitors submitting a public form that collects post content can attach metadata of their choosing to the post their submission creates.
