Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in strategy11team Formidable Forms Plugin up to 6.28 on WordPress. Affected by this vulnerability is the function verify_intent. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a authorization vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-862. The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action. As an impact it is known to affect integrity. The summary by CVE is:

The Formidable Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to a payment integrity bypass in all versions up to, and including, 6.28. This is due to the Stripe Link return handler (`handle_one_time_stripe_link_return_url`) marking payment records as complete based solely on the Stripe PaymentIntent status without comparing the intent's charged amount against the expected payment amount, and the `verify_intent()` function validating only client secret ownership without binding intents to specific forms or actions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reuse a PaymentIntent from a completed low-value payment to mark a high-value payment as complete, effectively bypassing payment for goods or services.

The weakness was released by Andres Cruciani. The advisory is shared at wordfence.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2026-2890 since 02/20/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 03/20/2026).

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
