GHSA-2xm2-23ff-p8ww — medium GitHub Advisory (CVE-2025-32426) in composer/verbb/formie

Description

Impact

It is possible to inject malicious code into the HTML content of an email notification, which is then rendered on the preview. There is no issue when rendering the email via normal means (a delivered email).

This would require access to the form's email notification settings.

Patches

This has been fixed in Formie 2.1.44. Users should ensure they are running at least this version.

Base score	Version	Severity	Vector
4.6	3.1	—	`CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N` Click to expand Attack vector (AV:N) Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine. Attack complexity (AC:L) Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup. Privileges required (PR:L) A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin. User interaction (UI:R) A real person has to do something—click, install, enable—otherwise it doesn’t land. Scope (S:U) Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems. Confidentiality (C:L) Some sensitive info could get out, but not a total data dump. Integrity (I:L) Attackers could change some data, but it’s limited—not everything goes. Availability (A:N) Service keeps running; no real outage angle.
