DescriptionCVE.org

The WPForms Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Single Line Text and Paragraph Text Field Values in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.0.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The exploit relies on the plugin's own wp_kses_allowed_html filter widening the 'post' allowlist to permit iframe elements with a data-src attribute, which is not on WordPress's URI-attribute sanitization list, allowing a javascript: URI stored in data-src to survive kses processing and subsequently be promoted to a live src attribute by the bundled admin script view-entry.min.js.

AnalysisAI

Stored Cross-Site Scripting in WPForms Pro for WordPress (all versions through 2.0.0.2) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject persistent malicious scripts via form text fields, which execute in the browser of any user who views the stored form entry. The vulnerability exploits a subtle interaction between the plugin's custom kses allowlist expansion - permitting iframes with a data-src attribute - and the WordPress core URI sanitizer's blindspot for that attribute, compounded by the plugin's own admin script promoting data-src to a live src. …
