CVE-2026-5112 - Gravity Forms Plugin

CVE-2026-5112

The Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to and including 2.10.0. This is due to insufficient input validation and output escaping of Calculation Product field product names when rendered inside Repeater fields. The validate() method in the GF_Field_Calculation class only validates the quantity field (.3) and completely ignores the product name field (.1), allowing malicious HTML to pass through validation. When the value is saved, the sanitize_entry_value() method returns the raw value without sanitization for fields where HTML is not expected. Subsequently, when an entry is viewed in wp-admin, the get_value_entry_detail() method concatenates the unescaped product name directly into the output string, which is then rendered by the repeater's get_value_entry_detail() method without further escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts via form submissions that will execute whenever an authenticated administrator with the gravityforms_view_entries capability accesses the entry detail page.

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.
