What is CVE-2026-19859?

The JetFormBuilder plugin for WordPress versions prior to 3.6.5.2 is susceptible to an arbitrary code execution vulnerability. This issue stems from the failure to properly sanitize a request parameter before it is utilized in rendering message content. Consequently, unauthenticated users may exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary shortcodes registered on the WordPress site across any page that displays a form. The bypass occurs as escaping is performed on the content only prior to a later shortcode expansion rather than at the point of input, allowing for potential security breaches.

Affected Version(s)

JetFormBuilder 0 < 3.6.5.2

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
