{"cve":"CVE-2026-0996","nvd":{"published":"2026-02-10T06:15:54.320","modified":"2026-06-17T10:11:44.617","status":"Deferred","description":"The Fluent Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the AI Form Builder module in all versions up to, and including, 6.1.14 due to a combination of missing authorization checks, a leaked nonce, and insufficient input sanitization. The vulnerability allows Subscriber-level users to trigger AI form generation via a protected endpoint. When prompted, AI services will typically return bare JavaScript code (without <script> tags), which bypasses the plugin's sanitization. This stored JavaScript executes whenever anyone views the generated form, making it possible for authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts that will execute in the context of any user accessing the form.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","score":6.4},"cwes":["CWE-79"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/fluentform/tags/6.1.12/app/Hooks/actions.php#L641","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/fluentform/tags/6.1.12/app/Modules/Ai/AiFormBuilder.php#L29","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/fluentform/tags/6.1.12/app/Modules/Ai/AiFormBuilder.php#L334","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/fluentform/tags/6.1.12/boot/globals.php#L438","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3449710/fluentform/trunk/app/Hooks/actions.php"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:22:27.261130201+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-0996","score":0.00312,"percentile":0.24166,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
