Descriptions

The Forminator WordPress plugin before 1.27.0 does not properly sanitize the redirect-url field in the form submission settings, which could allow high-privilege users such as an administrator to inject arbitrary web scripts even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in a multisite setup).

El complemento Forminator de WordPress anterior a 1.27.0 no sanitiza adecuadamente el campo URL de redireccionamiento en la configuración de envío de formularios, lo que podría permitir a usuarios con altos privilegios, como un administrador, inyectar scripts web arbitrarios incluso cuando la capacidad unfiltered_html no está permitida (por ejemplo en una configuración multisitio).

The Forminator – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'redirect-url' field located in the form submission settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.26.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
