    Can a malicious user modify the information submitted through the hidden fields?

    Yes. It’s trivial to do this with a browser’s dev tools (like Firebug for Firefox, Chrome Dev Tools, etc.), to say nothing of constructing/manipulating raw HTTP requests.

    And if yes, does that mean that it is a good practice to validate and purify the information submitted via hidden fields?

    Absolutely.
