Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-11 12:31 – Updated: 2026-03-11 12:31

Details

The Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.28.1. This is due to a compound failure involving missing authorization on the create_from_template AJAX endpoint (allowing any authenticated user to create forms), insufficient input sanitization (sanitize_text_field() preserves single quotes), and missing output escaping when the form title is rendered in the Form Switcher dropdown (title attribute constructed without esc_attr(), and JavaScript saferHtml utility only escapes &, <, > but not quotes). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes when an Administrator searches in the Form Switcher dropdown in the Form Editor.

Severity ?

6.4 (Medium)

CVE-2026-3492 (GCVE-0-2026-3492)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-03-11 09:25 – Updated: 2026-03-11 13:22

Title

Gravity Forms <= 2.9.28.1 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Form Title

Summary

The Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.28.1. This is due to a compound failure involving missing authorization on the `create_from_template` AJAX endpoint (allowing any authenticated user to create forms), insufficient input sanitization (`sanitize_text_field()` preserves single quotes), and missing output escaping when the form title is rendered in the Form Switcher dropdown (`title` attribute constructed without `esc_attr()`, and JavaScript `saferHtml` utility only escapes `&`, `<`, `>` but not quotes). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes when an Administrator searches in the Form Switcher dropdown in the Form Editor.

Severity ?

6.4 (Medium)
