Reflected script execution via unsanitized Custom HTML
Published Nov 23, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Reflected XSS in Strategy11 Formidable Forms 6.16.1.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute scripts via crafted POST data. FrmFieldsHelper processes attacker-controlled Custom HTML form parameters without sufficient input sanitization or output escaping, causing submitted markup to enter the response. Exploitation requires a victim to perform an attacker-controlled action, such as opening a crafted link, and exposes data or actions available in that victim's browser session.
