| Description | The Formidable Forms WordPress plugin before 6.35 does not prevent a request-derived value from reaching the WordPress shortcode parser when it substitutes a supported token into a form's custom HTML, allowing unauthenticated visitors to have arbitrary shortcodes, with attacker-chosen attributes, executed server-side on any page displaying an affected form. |
