Critical Forminator flaw exposes vulnerable WordPress sites to code execution
Image: Primary A disclosed flaw in the Forminator Forms WordPress plugin can allow unauthenticated attackers to upload executable PHP files and potentially take over susceptible sites. Wordfence rates CVE-2026-15748 at CVSS 9.8 and says it affects versions through 1.56.1; version 1.56.2, released July 31, addresses it. Exploitation requires a form with both File Upload and Select fields. Default upload storage may block PHP execution, but custom storage roots may lack that safeguard.
