## Critical

Critical, because:

- CVSS score 9.8: 9.0 or more.

How we decide what’s critical: <https://agentprime.io/advisories/critical.md>

## Affected packages

- `verbb/formie` (Packagist): affected `>=3.0.0-beta.1, <3.1.24 || <2.2.20`; fixed in `3.1.24`, `2.2.20`

## Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

> Formie, a Craft CMS form plugin for Packagist package verbb/formie, is vulnerable in versions below 2.2.20 and from 3.0.0-beta.1 up to (not including) 3.1.24. An unauthenticated user can submit crafted values to Hidden fields configured with a Custom default value, and these values are evaluated as Twig during form submission, which could seriously compromise the Craft site depending on template sandbox behavior; no control panel login is needed. Upgrade to 2.2.20 or 3.1.24, or as a temporary workaround, remove Hidden fields from public forms or change their default away from Custom.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-x7m9-mwc2-g6w2>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
