The Formidable Forms - WordPress Form Builder for Contact Forms, Calculators, Quizzes & More plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'frm_user_id' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 6.33.1 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. By forging frm_user_id to match an administrator's user ID - discoverable via the public WordPress REST API - an unauthenticated attacker causes wp_kses_post() to serve as the only output filter, which preserves the injected payload structurally intact; the plugin's admin JavaScript then decodes and executes it automatically on page load.
AnalysisAI
Stored Cross-Site Scripting in the Formidable Forms WordPress plugin through version 6.33.1 enables unauthenticated attackers to inject persistent malicious scripts that execute automatically in the WordPress admin interface. The attack exploits the plugin's frm_user_id parameter: by forging it to match an administrator's user ID - obtainable from the public WordPress REST API - the attacker routes input through the permissive wp_kses_post() filter rather than strict sanitization, allowing the payload to survive storage intact. …
