Stored Cross-Site Scripting in Fluent Forms Plugin for WordPress

CVE-2026-0996

What is CVE-2026-0996?

The Fluent Forms plugin exposes a severe vulnerability via its AI Form Builder module, allowing authenticated users with Subscriber-level access to exploit stored cross-site scripting (XSS). This flaw arises from insufficient authorization checks, a leaked nonce, and inadequate input sanitization. By triggering AI form generation through a protected endpoint, attackers can inject malicious JavaScript into forms. This code executes whenever a user views the affected form, creating a risk for any visitor and leading to potential data compromise and other malicious activities.
