Inline comments:
In `@classes/controllers/FrmFormsController.php`:
- Line 2287: Update the frm_compact_fields handling in the controller to
retrieve the complete JSON without destructive sanitize_text_field processing,
then decode and validate it before sanitizing individual fields. Preserve markup
and percent-encoded values such as %20 during JSON parsing, while retaining the
existing field-level sanitization behavior afterward.
In `@classes/helpers/FrmCSVExportHelper.php`:
- Line 259: Update set_class_parameters() so the csv_col_sep value passed to
self::$column_separator is normalized to a scalar string, rejecting or falling
back from recursively sanitized array input before applying frm_csv_column_sep.
Preserve the existing scalar sanitization and default separator behavior, and
ensure print_csv_row() never receives an array separator.
In `@classes/models/FrmFormAction.php`:
- Line 487: Update FrmFormAction’s action-settings loading around get_post_param
to read the payload without recursively applying sanitize_text_field, then parse
it and sanitize each setting according to its field contract before saving
post_content. Preserve HTML and line breaks in email_message so
FrmEmail::set_message can process them, and add regression coverage for HTML and
multiline email content.
In `@paypal/controllers/FrmPayPalLiteAppController.php`:
- Line 113: Update the posted item_meta handling in the PayPal controller to
read the unslashed array without recursively applying sanitize_text_field,
preserving product labels for FrmFieldProduct::get_posted_price() comparisons.
Validate product selections against the server-side field options before using
them in pricing_data, while retaining the existing fallback to an empty array.
In `@phpcs-sniffs/Formidable/Sniffs/Security/PreferInputHelperSniff.php`:
- Around line 206-212: Update the autofix logic in PreferInputHelperSniff so
nested subscripts are not deleted when ignoreNestedAccess is false: preserve the
trailing subscript access after replacing the first subscript, or mark nested
reads as non-fixable. Ensure fixing $_POST['a']['b'] retains the ['b'] access
and does not change the value being read.
- Around line 206-212: Update PreferInputHelperSniff::process() and its autofix
decision so Unsanitized* diagnostics are fixable only when $wrapper['sanitizer']
is explicitly configured; otherwise report them as non-fixable and do not
replace the input with sanitize_text_field. Preserve the existing
configured-sanitizer fix path.
In `@stripe/models/FrmStrpLiteAuth.php`:
- Line 299: Update FrmStrpLiteAuth::update_intent_ajax() to retrieve the
unslashed form JSON without sanitizing the complete payload, decode it first,
then sanitize each decoded field according to its contract before
generate_false_entry() and prepare_amount() consume it. Ensure the direct
frm_strp_amount AJAX path preserves valid field content and computes dynamic
payment amounts correctly.

Preserve frm_compact_fields before decoding.get_simple_request() applies sanitize_text_field() to the complete JSON string before json_decode(). This can remove markup and percent-encoded values such as %20, altering valid form settings. Read the value without destructive sanitization, decode and validate the JSON, then sanitize individual fields.

Keep csv_col_sep scalar.
If csv_col_sep[] is submitted, FrmAppHelper::get_post_param() returns a recursively sanitized array. set_class_parameters() assigns it to self::$column_separator. For multi-column rows, print_csv_row() concatenates this array with strings, causing invalid CSV output and an Array to string conversion warning. Normalize non-string values before applying frm_csv_column_sep.

Parse action settings before sanitizing their fields.
FrmAppHelper::get_post_param() recursively applies sanitize_text_field() to the action-settings payload before FrmFormAction saves post_content. For email actions, this removes HTML and line breaks from email_message before FrmEmail::set_message() processes it. Read the action-settings payload without scalar sanitization, then sanitize each field according to its contract. Add regression coverage for HTML and multiline email content.

get_post_param() recursively applies sanitize_text_field() to item_meta. FrmFieldProduct::get_posted_price() then compares each product value strictly with its saved label. If sanitization removes markup from a valid label, the comparison fails, returns zero, and the PayPal controller omits the product from pricing_data.
Read the unslashed array without a generic text sanitizer, then validate product selections against the server-side options.

The autofix drops nested subscripts when ignoreNestedAccess is false.
$wrapper['end'] is the final closing bracket of the whole subscript chain, but $keyExpr covers only the first subscript. If a ruleset sets ignoreNestedAccess to false as documented on Lines 120-135, phpcbf rewrites $_POST['a']['b'] to FrmAppHelper::get_post_param( 'a', '', 'sanitize_text_field' ). The ['b'] access is deleted, so the fixed code reads a different value.
Either keep the trailing subscripts in the replacement, or report nested reads as non-fixable.
🐛 Proposed fix: preserve the trailing subscripts
$keyExpr = $this->getKeyExpression( $phpcsFile, $subscript['open'] );
- $replacement = sprintf( $this->superglobals[ $superglobal ]['call'], $keyExpr, $sanitize );+ $replacement = sprintf( $this->superglobals[ $superglobal ]['call'], $keyExpr, $sanitize );+ $firstCloser = $tokens[ $subscript['open'] ]['bracket_closer'];++ // Keep any deeper subscripts, since the helper only replaces the first key.+ if ( $firstCloser < $subscript['end'] ) {+ $replacement .= $phpcsFile->getTokensAsString( $firstCloser + 1, $subscript['end'] - $firstCloser );+ }

Do not autofix guessed sanitizers
When $wrapper['sanitizer'] is absent, PreferInputHelperSniff::process() still reports a fixable error and replaces the read with sanitize_text_field. FrmAppHelper::sanitize_value() mutates arrays recursively and strips text that may contain JSON or HTML, so this can change supported payloads. Make the Unsanitized* diagnostics non-fixable, or allow fixing only when the sanitizer is explicitly configured.

Decode the form JSON before field sanitization.FrmStrpLiteAuth::update_intent_ajax() is reachable through frm_strp_amount AJAX actions and sanitizes the complete JSON before decoding it. This can alter valid field content before generate_false_entry() and prepare_amount() consume it, causing incorrect dynamic payment amounts. A fix limited to FrmFormAction does not change this direct Stripe path. Retrieve the unslashed JSON, decode it, then sanitize each decoded field according to its contract.

`process` has a cyclomatic complexity of 16 with "High" risk
A function with high cyclomatic complexity can be hard to understand and
maintain. Cyclomatic complexity is a software metric that measures the number of
independent paths through a function. A higher cyclomatic complexity indicates
that the function has more decision points and is more complex.

Reviewed the current head (45e37f4), which is a much smaller diff than CodeRabbit's/DeepSource's posted reviews cover — both ran against an earlier commit (bba056f/d66da3a) that included risky application-code migrations (Stripe/PayPal amount handling, email HTML, JSON payloads) the author already reverted in the very next commit ("Revert more changes"). Those stale bot findings don't apply to what's actually in this PR now; the current diff is just the new sniff plus 4 small, safe call-site swaps.
The sniff itself (PreferInputHelperSniff.php) is conservatively designed and already avoids every failure mode CodeRabbit's stale review flagged against it:
ignoreNestedAccess defaults true, so $_POST['a']['b'] is skipped entirely before the fixer ever runs — the "fix drops the nested key" bug can't happen at the current defaults, and this PR doesn't touch phpcs.xml to change that default.
A read with no existing sanitizer to copy is only reported/fixed under a separate Unsanitized* code, gated behind $includeUnsanitizedReads (off by default) — it never invents a sanitizer for a payload it hasn't seen.
Writes, existence checks (isset/empty), and type-check-only reads (is_array() etc.) are all explicitly skipped.
Auto-registers via the existing <rule ref="Formidable" /> catch-all in phpcs.xml — no separate registration step missing.
The 4 call-site swaps (FrmAppController, FrmCSVExportHelper, FrmListHelper, FrmPluginSearch, FrmSquareLiteActionsController) are all behavior-preserving — traced each one: the FrmAppController::admin_head_hooks()-adjacent branch that collapsed an elseif+else into just else still returns in exactly the same empty/zero-post-id case as before, and the Square helper's swap actually adds a wp_unslash() the original sanitize_text_field( $_POST[...] ) call was missing.
CI: PHPCS/PHPCS-Fixer/PHPStan/Psalm/Mago/ESLint/PHPUnit (both PHP versions) all pass. Two non-blocking items:
Cypress (shard 1) fails one test (FormTemplates.cy.js → "Get Instant Access to 30+ Free Form Templates", times out looking for [frm-search-text="user registration"]) — not independently re-run, but none of this diff's 5 files touch the Form Templates library UI or its search box; reads as a pre-existing flake, not something this PR broke.
DeepSource: PHP's red status is the same staleness as CodeRabbit's — it ran against bba056f, before the revert, and never re-ran against 45e37f4. Worth knowing before trusting that status at a glance, not something to fix in this diff.
