DescriptionCVE.org

The Formidable Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to a payment integrity bypass in all versions up to, and including, 6.28. This is due to the Stripe Link return handler (handle_one_time_stripe_link_return_url) marking payment records as complete based solely on the Stripe PaymentIntent status without comparing the intent's charged amount against the expected payment amount, and the verify_intent() function validating only client secret ownership without binding intents to specific forms or actions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reuse a PaymentIntent from a completed low-value payment to mark a high-value payment as complete, effectively bypassing payment for goods or services.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A critical payment processing vulnerability in Formidable Forms allows attackers to bypass payment validation and mark transactions as complete without actually charging the correct amount, directly impacting revenue and customer trust. Organizations using this WordPress plugin for payment collection face immediate financial and compliance risks until remediation is completed.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Disable the Stripe Link payment handler immediately in plugin settings; implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block requests to handle_one_time_stripe_link_return_url endpoints; isolate WordPress environment from direct internet access if possible; add manual payment verification process requiring comparison of charged amount versus order total before fulfillment; enable enhanced logging and alerting on payment status changes; consider temporary disablement of Formidable Forms payment features pending patch release.
