CVE-2026-3492 Details
Description
The Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.28.1. This is due to a compound failure involving missing authorization on the `create_from_template` AJAX endpoint (allowing any authenticated user to create forms), insufficient input sanitization (`sanitize_text_field()` preserves single quotes), and missing output escaping when the form title is rendered in the Form Switcher dropdown (`title` attribute constructed without `esc_attr()`, and JavaScript `saferHtml` utility only escapes `&`, `<`, `>` but not quotes). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes when an Administrator searches in the Form Switcher dropdown in the Form Editor.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 2.9.28.1. The issue arises from a combination of factors: the 'create_from_template' AJAX endpoint lacks proper authorization, allowing any authenticated user to create forms; input sanitization is inadequate, as the 'sanitize_text_field()' function does not properly handle single quotes; and there is a failure to escape output when form titles are displayed in the Form Switcher dropdown. This vulnerability enables authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access or higher to inject arbitrary JavaScript, which executes when an Administrator searches in the Form Switcher dropdown within the Form Editor.
Users are advised to update the Gravity Forms plugin to version 2.9.29 or a newer patched version.
