## What is CVE-2026-7232?

CVE-2026-7232 is a high-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in FormCraft, published on 23 Jul 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The FormCraft plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the '[parameter name]' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.14 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The exploit chain combines a server-side gap — where composite matrix sub-field keys such as field2_0 and field2_1 are never passed through the sanitization loop and are stored raw via $wpdb->insert() — with a client-side gap where DOMPurify is only invoked when typeof field.value === 'string', but matrix values arrive from the server as arrays, bypassing the check before being mapped to strings and injected into the DOM. Additionally, the same sink is reachable via a second attack vector: array-typed field values are passed through htmlentities() on submission but later reversed by html_entity_decode() at formcraft-main.php:2608 and :2122, restoring the malicious payload before storage and rendering.

Weakness: CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-7232 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-7232 is a high-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in FormCraft, published on 23 Jul 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-7232 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: FormCraft. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
