{"id":"CVE-2026-4406","aliases":["EUVD-2026-19994","GHSA-m698-rpjv-64j7"],"status":"published","title":"Gravity Forms \u003c= 2.9.30 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via 'form_ids' Parameter","description":"The Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the `form_ids` parameter in the `gform_get_config` AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.30. This is due to the `GFCommon::send_json()` method outputting JSON-encoded data wrapped in HTML comment delimiters using `echo` and `wp_die()`, which serves the response with a `Content-Type: text/html` header instead of `application/json`. The `wp_json_encode()` function does not HTML-encode angle brackets within JSON string values, allowing injected HTML/script tags in `form_ids` array values to be parsed and executed by the browser. The required `config_nonce` is generated with `wp_create_nonce('gform_config_ajax')` and is publicly embedded on every page that renders a Gravity Forms form, making it identical for all unauthenticated visitors within the same 12-hour nonce tick. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. This vulnerability cannot be exploited against users who are authenticated on the target system, but could be used to alter the target page.","severity":{"version":"3.1","score":4.7,"vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","level":"medium","assessor":"cna","from":"cve"},"epss":{"day":"2026-11-12","score":0.0037,"percentile":0.31357,"model":"v2026.06.15"},"facts":{"in_kev":false,"known_exploited":false,"public_exploit":true,"fix_available":false},"cwes":["CWE-79"],"published":"2026-04-07T23:25:27Z","modified":"2026-07-24T23:10:00Z","exploits":[{"source":"pocgithub","id":"Hann1bl3L3ct3r/CVE-2026-4406","title":"Hann1bl3L3ct3r/CVE-2026-4406","date":"2026-04-07","url":"https://github.com/Hann1bl3L3ct3r/CVE-2026-4406"}],"products":[{"vendor":"gravity forms","product":"gravity forms"}],"references":[{"url":"https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/4126d452-65a9-48f5-a3f5-5be1b8fff80c?source=cve"},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/gravityforms/trunk/common.php#L8267"},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/gravityforms/trunk/includes/config/class-gf-config-collection.php#L56"},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/gravityforms/trunk/includes/config/class-gf-config-service-provider.php#L144"},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/gravityforms/trunk/includes/config/items/class-gf-config-global.php#L22"},{"url":"https://docs.gravityforms.com/gravityforms-change-log/"},{"url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-4406"},{"url":"https://docs.gravityforms.com/gravityforms-change-log"},{"url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-m698-rpjv-64j7"}],"sources":{"cve":[{"id":"CVE-2026-4406","title":"Gravity Forms \u003c= 2.9.30 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via 'form_ids' Parameter","description":"The Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the `form_ids` parameter in the `gform_get_config` AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.30.
