CVE-2026-101335 Details
Description
The Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary Shortcode Execution in versions up to, and including, 1.58.1. This is due to the forminator_replace_quiz_form_data() helper invoking do_shortcode() on the fully expanded notification body once the {quiz_result} merge tag has been substituted, while the earlier-substituted {user_agent} and {refer_url} merge tags carry unauthenticated attacker-controlled bytes (the User-Agent header and the referer_url POST parameter) through sanitize_text_field()/esc_html(), neither of which strip the '[' and ']' shortcode delimiters. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary WordPress shortcodes registered on the site by submitting a quiz whose notification template contains {quiz_result}; the resulting impact depends on the shortcodes exposed by other installed plugins/themes and can range from arbitrary content injection to information disclosure.
A vulnerability allowing arbitrary shortcode execution has been identified in the Forminator Forms WordPress plugin, specifically in versions through 1.58.1. The issue arises because the 'forminator_replace_quiz_form_data()' function processes the notification body by replacing merge tags with corresponding data. However, the '{user_agent}' and '{refer_url}' merge tags can carry unauthenticated, attacker-controlled data that includes shortcode delimiters. This exploitation allows unauthenticated users to execute any WordPress shortcodes registered on the site by submitting a quiz with a specially crafted notification template. The impact of this vulnerability varies depending on the shortcodes available through other plugins or themes, potentially leading to unauthorized content injection or information disclosure.
Users are advised to update the Forminator Forms plugin to version 1.58.2 or a newer patched version.
