Description

The Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 1.55.0.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

php`

  • Action: forminator_submit_form_ajax (or forminator_submit_poll_ajax)
  • Parameter: The value of the "Other" input field (e.g., radio-1-other).
  • Authentication: None.

Exploitation Strategy:

  1. Identify a Poll or Form with a Radio field that has the "Other" option enabled.
  2. Submit the form/poll via AJAX with a payload in the "Other" field.
  3. Access the page where the results are displayed (or wait for an admin to view the entries).

Nonce Acquisition:
Forminator forms usually require a nonce for submission.
The nonce is localized in the page source.
JS variable: window.ForminatorFront?.nonce or similar.
Wait, let's look at front.loader.js:

defaults   = {
    // ...
     nonce: false,
    // ...
};
// ...
param.nonce = this.settings.nonce;

The loader uses a nonce.

Let's find the localization key.
In Forminator, it's usually forminator_front_config.
Key: forminator_front_config.admin_ajax_nonce or the form's specific nonce.

Actually, Forminator generates a unique nonce for each form.
It's often found in a hidden input field: name="forminator_nonce".
