Hi!

On my page I have a form with radio buttons. These buttons are number values 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 ... 95.

I am storing these in database and then displaying the total in my frontend using the shortcode [frm-stats id=6 type= total]

Somehow someone was able to alter the HTML value (I also tried myself) to something like 999999 and was able to submit that. This of course was saved in database added to the total and this was "faked" in frontend.

How can I prevent it?

Many thanks in advance!
