Publication date: 2026-06-24

Last updated on: 2026-06-24

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The ARForms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `value` parameter of the `arf_save_incomplete_form_data` AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 7.1.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that will execute whenever an administrator views the "Partial Filled Form Entries" page in the ARForms dashboard.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow attackers to execute malicious scripts in the context of the administrator's browser when they view certain pages in the ARForms dashboard. This can lead to unauthorized actions such as data manipulation, theft of sensitive information, or further compromise of the WordPress site.

Because the attacker can inject scripts without authentication, it increases the risk of data breaches, spam submissions, or other malicious activities targeting the site.

Executive Summary

CVE-2026-3652 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the ARForms WordPress plugin. It occurs via the 'value' parameter of the 'arf_save_incomplete_form_data' AJAX action due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when an administrator views the 'Partial Filled Form Entries' page in the ARForms dashboard.

The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 7.1.3 of the plugin.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, users should update the ARForms WordPress plugin to the latest patched version, as the issue affects all versions up to and including 7.1.3.

Applying the update will address the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping that allows stored cross-site scripting attacks.

Additionally, following security best practices such as limiting administrative access and monitoring for suspicious activity is recommended.

Compliance Impact

The vulnerability in the ARForms WordPress plugin allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary scripts that execute when an administrator views certain form data. This could potentially lead to unauthorized access or manipulation of form data, increasing the risk of data breaches.

Such data breaches or unauthorized data manipulation can negatively impact compliance with common standards and regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require protection of personal and sensitive data against unauthorized access and ensure data integrity.

Therefore, if exploited, this vulnerability could lead to violations of these regulations due to compromised data confidentiality and integrity.
