What is CVE-2026-88996?
The WPForms – AI Form Builder plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping mechanisms. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages through the 'page_title' POST parameter when used in specific contexts, particularly affecting forms with admin-authored confirmation messages that incorporate the {page_title} Smart Tag within HTML attributes. If users are misled into clicking on a link, their browsers will execute these arbitrary scripts, potentially compromising user data and site security.
Affected Version(s)
WPForms – AI Form Builder for WordPress – Contact Forms, Payment Forms, Survey Form, Quiz & More 0 <= 2.0.2
