Technical details

The Fluent Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the Name Field Nested 'password' member. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by submitting a specially crafted form entry containing malicious JavaScript. Because the input is stored without proper neutralization, the script will execute in the security context of any user (including administrators) who subsequently views the submission or the page where the data is displayed. This vulnerability is present in all versions up to and including 6.2.7 and has been addressed in version 6.2.8.
