CVE-2026-107658 Details
Description
The BuddyForms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'bf_post_type (and buddyforms_form_content)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.10.5 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. Exploitation requires that at least one BuddyForms form with public submissions enabled exists on the site (so that the required nonce can be harvested from the public form page) and that the active theme registers a widgetized sidebar, allowing the injected customize_changeset to place a malicious Custom HTML widget into the site's front end.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the BuddyForms plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 2.10.5. The issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary scripts that execute when users access the compromised page. Exploitation requires a public BuddyForms form to be active, enabling the attacker to collect the necessary nonce from the form page. Additionally, the active theme must support widgetized sidebars, which can be exploited to display a malicious Custom HTML widget on the site.
Users are advised to update the BuddyForms plugin to version 2.10.6 or a newer patched version.
