VulnerabilityCVE-2026-9278cvecve-2026-9278cwe-79
Published: Mon Jun 15 2026 (06/15/2026, 06:00:02 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Product: Form Builder CP

Description

The Form Builder CP WordPress plugin before 1.2.47 does not properly sanitize a form configuration value before storing it and using it as part of a client-side script execution, allowing authenticated users with Editor-level access and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks against any visitor of a page rendering the affected form, even when the `unfiltered_html` capability is disallowed (e.g. in a multisite network).

Technical Analysis

The Form Builder CP WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.2.47 do not properly sanitize form configuration values before storing and embedding them in client-side scripts. This flaw enables authenticated users with Editor or higher privileges to perform stored XSS attacks against visitors of pages containing the vulnerable form. The vulnerability bypasses restrictions on the 'unfiltered_html' capability, increasing the attack surface in multisite WordPress installations. No CVSS score or official remediation level is provided, and no patch information is currently available.

Potential Impact

An attacker with Editor-level or higher access can inject malicious JavaScript that executes in the context of any visitor viewing the affected form. This can lead to session hijacking, defacement, or other client-side attacks against site visitors. The vulnerability affects the confidentiality and integrity of visitors' interactions with the site. The threat does not require the attacker to have unfiltered HTML capabilities, broadening the scope of potential exploitation.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Editor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Form Builder CP plugin if possible. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
