DescriptionNVD

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Daman Jeet Real Time Validation for Gravity Forms allows Reflected XSS.This issue affects Real Time Validation for Gravity Forms: from n/a through 1.7.0.

AnalysisAI

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Daman Jeet's Real Time Validation for Gravity Forms plugin affecting versions through 1.7.0, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute in users' browsers. The vulnerability requires user interaction (clicking a malicious link) but can compromise user sessions, steal credentials, or deface form content due to its cross-site impact scope. While the CVSS score of 7.1 indicates moderate-to-high severity, real-world exploitation depends on form visibility and user interaction patterns.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability is a classic reflected XSS flaw (CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) in a WordPress plugin that adds real-time validation features to Gravity Forms. The plugin fails to properly sanitize and escape user-supplied input before rendering it in HTML responses, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript. The affected product is identified by CPE 2.3 scope as 'Real Time Validation for Gravity Forms' by Daman Jeet. The vulnerability manifests in the plugin's form validation routines which likely echo back user parameters without adequate output encoding (htmlspecialchars, wp_kses, etc.), a common pattern in poorly-secured WordPress plugins that handle form data. Gravity Forms is a widely-used WordPress form builder plugin, making its extensions a valuable attack surface.

RemediationAI

action: Update Plugin; details: Upgrade Real Time Validation for Gravity Forms to version 1.7.1 or later. Check WordPress plugin dashboard for available updates or visit the WordPress plugin repository.; priority: Immediate
action: Verify Patch Availability; details: Confirm patch release in official WordPress.org plugin repository or vendor advisory. If no patch is published, consider disabling the plugin until fixed.; priority: High
action: Input Validation & Output Encoding Remediation (Developer Context); details: Developers should implement proper input sanitization (sanitize_text_field, sanitize_textarea_field) and output escaping (esc_html, esc_attr, wp_kses) in all form handling code, especially in AJAX validation endpoints. Use WordPress nonces to prevent CSRF.; priority: Development
action: Temporary Mitigation; details: If patch is unavailable, disable the plugin and revert to Gravity Forms' native validation. Review server/WAF rules for XSS patterns in form inputs.; priority: High
action: User Communication; details: Advise users to avoid clicking untrusted links containing form parameters; educate about XSS phishing.; priority: Medium
