Readme
# CVE-2023-1405
Formidable Forms &lt;= 6.1.2 - Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection

# Description: 
The Formidable Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in versions up to, and including, 6.1.2 via deserialization of untrusted input from form submissions. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. No POP chain is present in the vulnerable plugin. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it could allow the attacker to delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code.
