The Forminator Forms - Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to DOM-Based Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'error_description' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.57.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The vulnerability is only triggerable on pages hosting a Forminator form configured to use the Stripe Checkout Sessions payment API, which became the default in 1.56.0.
AnalysisAI
DOM-based reflected XSS in the Forminator Forms WordPress plugin (all versions up to and including 1.57.0) allows unauthenticated network attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in victim browsers by embedding a payload in the 'error_description' URL parameter, which the plugin's front.stripe.js writes to the DOM without sanitization. The attack surface expanded significantly when Stripe Checkout Sessions became the plugin's default payment method in version 1.56.0, meaning any site that upgraded to 1.56.0 or 1.57.0 without changing payment settings is exposed on pages hosting a Forminator form. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Two conditions must both be met for exploitation: the target WordPress site must have Forminator Forms version 1.56.0 through 1.57.0 installed, and the specific page the victim visits must host a Forminator form configured to use the Stripe Checkout Sessions payment API. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 3.1 vector scores 7.2 using UI:N, which is atypical for reflected XSS - victims must generally navigate to a crafted URL, placing this firmly in UI:R territory (which would yield 6.1). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade Forminator Forms to version 1.57.0.1 or later; the fix is documented in the WordPress plugin repository changeset at plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset comparing the 1.57.0 and 1.57.0.1 tags, and the full Wordfence disclosure is available at wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/a669f05d-67c7-45ac-ae56-e7c637ece880. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
