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.
