Severity by source
AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
Unauthenticated remote reach (PR:N/AV:N/AC:L) is clear, but impact is downgraded to C:L/I:L because arbitrary shortcode execution's effect depends on which shortcodes exist, not guaranteed high impact.

The The Forminator Forms - Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 1.57.2. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes.

AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary WordPress shortcodes through the Forminator Forms plugin (all versions up to and including 1.57.2) because a value reaching do_shortcode in the quizzes front-action handler is not properly validated. A site is only reachable through this path if Forminator is installed and active and a form or quiz routes through the vulnerable front-action, and the real-world damage is bounded by which shortcodes other installed plugins register - benign shortcodes mean limited impact, while data- or state-changing shortcodes raise it substantially. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | No authentication or user interaction required: an unauthenticated attacker can reach the Forminator quizzes front-action handler, where a value is passed to do_shortcode without proper validation (affected in all versions up to and including 1.57.2). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This scores CVSS 9.1 (Critical) with a fully remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) and high confidentiality/integrity impact, which on paper makes it a top-tier patching priority. … 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 | No exact patched release version is confirmed in the available data; an upstream fix is referenced in the plugin changeset (Trac changeset 3700724), so upgrade Forminator Forms to the first release published after 1.57.2 as soon as it is available and verify the changelog entry for this CVE. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all WordPress sites running Forminator Forms up to and including 1.57.2; if Forminator is not business-critical, deactivate and remove it, and if it must remain, disable quizzes or forms that route through the vulnerable front-action and apply WAF/virtual patching to block shortcode injection. …
