Summary
Formie has XSS vulnerability for importing forms
Impact
When importing a form from JSON, if the field label or handle contained malicious content, the output wasn't correctly escaped when viewing a preview of what was to be imported.
As imports are undertaking primarily by users who have themselves exported the form from one environment to another, and would require direct manipulation of the JSON export, this is marked as moderate. This vulnerability will not occur unless someone deliberately tampers with the export.
Untrusted input is rendered as active markup in a victim's browser, which can run script in their session. Typical impact: session or credential theft, and actions taken as the user.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.
Remediation advice
This has been fixed in Formie 2.1.44. Users should ensure they are running at least this version.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CVE-2025-32427? CVE-2025-32427 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in verbb/formie (composer), affecting versions <= 2.1.43. It is fixed in 2.1.44. Untrusted input is rendered as active markup in a victim's browser, which can run script in their session.
- Which versions of verbb/formie are affected by CVE-2025-32427? verbb/formie (composer) versions <= 2.1.43 is affected.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2025-32427? Yes. CVE-2025-32427 is fixed in 2.1.44. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is CVE-2025-32427 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2025-32427 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether CVE-2025-32427 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
- How do I fix CVE-2025-32427? Upgrade
