    Are there any plans to update the bundled javascript libraries? We had outdated versions of moment.js and jquery-validation in the Forminator plugin flagged during a recent penetration test.

    Hi @marcusjpickering,

    Hope you are keeping well and thank you for reaching out to us.

    In most instances, these results are inaccurate. This discrepancy arises because we consistently apply security patches to our products. However, in certain cases, the version number remains unchanged, causing these tools to incorrectly indicate the presence of a vulnerability.

    Nonetheless, we treat security with utmost seriousness. Could you kindly provide the details of the test and its results so that we can thoroughly examine the situation?

    Thank you for the response and apologies for the delay due to holidays.

    Hi @marcusjpickering

    We have passed your data to our Forminator developers. Thank you for your patience while we look into this further.

    Hi @marcusjpickering

    As mentioned in email conversation:

    This vulnerability shouldn’t be a “big deal” in case of Forminator because JS is not the only method used for input validation – so even if the library allows some arbitrary input that may possibly be malicious, it should be further sanitized anyway but plugin’s code.
    However, it still is a vulnerability of course. We already have a plan to update the library so it will be addressed. Next version should contain update for that.

    I will mark this thread as resolved now.

    Kind Regards,
    Kris
