Stored script execution via unsafe input shortcodes
Published Jul 31, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in Strategy11 Formidable Forms 6.11.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts via HTML fields. The HTML-field shortcode path accepts an attacker-controlled html parameter and renders its resulting markup without sufficient sanitization or output escaping. Form-editing permission and Subscriber-level access are required; a visitor who opens the injected page triggers the stored script in the browser.
