Is Smart Forms safe? Known vulnerabilities and latest version

Smart Forms is closed on wordpress.org

Closed on 2026-10-08. Closed plugins get no updates through WordPress, so new security holes will not be fixed for you.

What to do

  1. Replace it. A closed plugin gets no updates through WordPress, so any hole found from now on stays open.
  2. Deactivate and delete it once you have a replacement (Plugins → Deactivate → Delete). Deleting removes its files; deactivating alone leaves them on the server.
  3. If you ran a vulnerable version and something looks off (spam pages, strange admins, redirects), run the free scan, or have us clean it: Emergency Cleanup, $499.

With WP-CLI, once you have a replacement: wp plugin deactivate smart-forms && wp plugin delete smart-forms

Range from
CVE record (the advisory publisher) · score by Wordfence
Details from the advisory

The Smart Forms – when you need more than just a contact form plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'formString' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.104 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. The nonce check protecting the rednao_smart_forms_save_form_values AJAX handler is only enforced when the smart_forms_block_anonymous_submissions option is enabled, meaning default installations require no authentication or nonce verification whatsoever to submit and store malicious payloads.
