CVE-2026-86799 Details
Description
The Forms WordPress plugin before 3.0.2 does not sanitise submitted form values on storage, nor escape them before outputting them on the form submissions screen in the administration dashboard, allowing unauthenticated users to inject arbitrary web scripts that will execute in the browser of any administrator viewing the submissions.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Forms WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 3.0.2. The issue arises because the plugin fails to properly sanitize submitted form values before storing them, and does not escape these values before displaying them on the form submissions screen in the administration dashboard. This lack of proper handling allows unauthenticated users to inject arbitrary web scripts that could be executed in the browser of any administrator viewing the submissions.
Users are advised to update the Forms WordPress plugin to version 3.0.2 or later.
