CVE-2026-65051Network attack vector

Unauthenticated validation bypass via field metadata overwrite

Published Jul 21, 2026 · Updated Jul 21, 2026

Client-side enforcement in Saturday Drive Ninja Forms before 3.14.9 allows remote attackers to bypass form validation via AJAX. The unauthenticated submission handler merges attacker-controlled field metadata over server-loaded definitions before validation, allowing field types, required flags, and CAPTCHA settings to be replaced. The public nopriv endpoint therefore accepts unverified content that can trigger configured actions, including email notification and database storage.
