CVE-2025-3468Network attack vector

Stored script execution via unescaped form fields

Published May 8, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Stored XSS in Basix NEX-Forms 8.9.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through form parameters. The plugin insufficiently sanitizes clean_html and form_fields values and later renders them without adequate output escaping. Custom-level access is required; saved payloads execute in a visitor's browser when an affected page opens, enabling page-context data access or modification.
