CVE-2026-107658 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 5.4 (medium) and affects BuddyForms; no fixed version is listed yet.

## Summary

Unauthenticated attackers can remotely inject malicious scripts into BuddyForms, a WordPress form plugin, through a stored cross-site scripting flaw, so the scripts run in the browsers of users who visit the injected pages. The attack needs a public BuddyForms form on the site and a theme with a widgetized sidebar.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- themekraft BuddyForms: through 2.10.5

## Description

The BuddyForms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'bf_post_type (and buddyforms_form_content)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.10.5 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. Exploitation requires that at least one BuddyForms form with public submissions enabled exists on the site (so that the required nonce can be harvested from the public form page) and that the active theme registers a widgetized sidebar, allowing the injected customize_changeset to place a malicious Custom HTML widget into the site's front end.
