SCA: security update for verbb/formie (GHSA-565m-g33j-jq96)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 444425

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Formie is a Craft CMS plugin for creating forms. Prior to 3.1.27, Formie can pass request-derived Hidden
field defaults such as HTTP User Agent, Referer URL, Current URL, Current URL without Query String, Query
Parameter, and Cookie Value to Craft's Twig rendering layer during front-end form rendering. An
unauthenticated attacker can place Twig syntax in one of these request-controlled inputs when a public
form contains an affected Hidden field. Hidden::getFrontEndInputOptions() then assigns the value to
defaultValue and calls renderString, causing server-side template evaluation rather than treating the
request data as a plain string. Depending on the Craft site configuration and available Twig capabilities,
exploitation can disclose sensitive information, modify application state, or achieve remote code
execution. This issue is fixed in version 3.1.27. (CVE-2026-52889)

Solution

Update the verbb/formie library and its related packages to version 3.1.27 or later.
