CVE-2026-88996

description
smub WPForms AI Form Builder versions through 2.0.2 are affected by reflected cross-site scripting. An unauthenticated attacker may cause browser-side script execution when a user interacts with attacker-controlled content and an administrator has placed the page-title smart tag in an HTML attribute within a form confirmation.
mitigation
Remove the page-title smart tag from HTML attributes in form confirmation messages and review existing forms for that pattern. Upgrade to a release newer than 2.0.2 when the vendor provides one; the evidence does not identify the first fixed version.
outcome
Check only, differential: the check fires on the vulnerable build and is silent on the patched one.
