Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in Forminator <= 1.53.1 versions.
AnalysisAI
Cross-site scripting in the Forminator WordPress plugin (versions 1.53.1 and earlier, by WPMU DEV) lets unauthenticated remote attackers inject malicious script that executes in a victim's browser when they interact with crafted content. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C, score 7.1) confirms no authentication is required but that user interaction triggers the payload, and the changed scope means the injected script runs in a security context beyond the vulnerable component. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires no authentication (PR:N) and is reachable over the network (AV:N) against Forminator 1.53.1 and earlier, but it is gated by user interaction (UI:R): a victim must click an attacker-crafted link or load a page containing the injected payload for the script to fire. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Real-world risk is moderate. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker crafts a malicious link or form submission containing a script payload targeting a vulnerable Forminator endpoint, then lures a site visitor or administrator into clicking it or viewing the affected page. When the unsanitized input is rendered, the script executes in the victim's browser, enabling session token theft, defacement, or actions performed as the victim. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch version was identified in the provided data; the affected range is up to and including 1.53.1, so the primary action is to upgrade Forminator to the latest available release beyond 1.53.1 via the WordPress plugin updater and confirm the fixed version against the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/forminator/vulnerability/wordpress-forminator-plugin-1-53-1-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
