Form-content alteration via unsanitized field labels
Published Aug 30, 2023 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Stored HTML injection in Saturday Drive Ninja Forms before 3.6.26 allows remote authenticated users to alter pages via crafted field labels. The plugin stores form-field labels without sanitizing or escaping their HTML before dashboard or front-end rendering. An Administrator with unfiltered_html can persist markup that changes pages or redirects later viewers; lower-privileged users cannot reach the write path.
