Stored script execution via unvalidated form labels
Published Sep 17, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Stored XSS in Saturday Drive Ninja Forms 3.8.11 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts through form labels. The form-builder label-settings change handler accepts insufficiently sanitized label values and later renders them without adequate output escaping. Administrator-level access is required, and injected code runs in a visitor's browser only on multisite installations or when unfiltered_html is disabled.
