CVE-2026-5111 - Gravity Forms Plugin
CVE-2026-5111
The Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to and including 2.10.0. This is due to insufficient input validation and output escaping on Hidden Product field values when used inside Repeater fields, where repeater subfields bypass state validation checks and the Hidden Product validate() method only validates the quantity field while ignoring the product name field that is later output without proper escaping in the get_value_entry_detail() method. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts through form submissions that will execute whenever an administrator views the entry details.

Potential Impact
Severity is HIGH (CVSS 7.2). Depending on deployment context, affected components may be exposed to unauthorized actions or data integrity risk.
Exploitability Assessment
Exploitability is assessed as High based on remote code execution potential, low-bar exploit prerequisites.
Primary risk drivers: remote code execution potential, low-bar exploit prerequisites
Mitigation Recommendations
Validate affected product versions, prioritize patching, and monitor references for vendor remediation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, apply compensating controls and limit exposure of vulnerable surfaces.
Detection & Monitoring
Track authentication anomalies, unexpected file writes, and suspicious plugin API activity around affected components.
Business Impact Lens
AI risk score 80/100 (High, High) with priority P2 Urgent. Prioritize remediation where affected components process customer data, admin sessions, or Internet-exposed workflows.
