Exploitation Conditions

The vulnerability is exploitable by unauthenticated remote attackers (PR:N, AV:N) against any WordPress installation running Form Maker by 10Web version 1.15.46 or earlier where at least one form is publicly accessible. Exploitation requires victim interaction (UI:R): a logged-in or browsing user must load a page or follow a link containing the injected payload. The scope change (S:C) confirms the injected script executes beyond the vulnerable component's own context. No special server-side configuration beyond having the plugin installed and active is required. Exploitation is limited by the user-interaction requirement - purely automated mass exploitation without social engineering is not viable given UI:R.

Impact

The CVSS 7.1 score reflects real but bounded risk: network-reachable (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), but requiring user interaction (UI:R) - a victim must load a crafted URL or page. The scope change (S:C) elevates severity by acknowledging cross-context JavaScript execution. EPSS data is not provided in the source intelligence, which limits probabilistic exploitation forecasting. There is no CISA KEV listing and no confirmed POC, so exploitation is currently theoretical from a public-record standpoint, though Patchstack's disclosure increases discovery likelihood. The plugin's broad deployment across WordPress sites means attack surface is wide; even a small regional IT team managing a WordPress-based public portal should treat this as a meaningful priority for patching. SSVC signals suggest 'Track/Attend' posture: publicly documented, no confirmed active exploitation, patch availability status not confirmed from available data. The combination of PR:N and S:C makes this a higher-value target for phishing or watering-hole campaigns than the raw numeric score may suggest.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker crafts a malicious URL containing a JavaScript payload injected into a vulnerable form parameter served by the plugin, then delivers it to a target - such as an administrator or authenticated WordPress user - via phishing or a watering-hole link. When the victim loads the URL, the unsanitized input is rendered in their browser, executing the attacker's script within the site's origin context. This could be used to steal session cookies, capture credentials, or perform administrative actions on the victim's behalf. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 20, 2026

Unauthenticated reflected or stored cross-site scripting in Form Maker by 10Web WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.15.46) allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript into pages viewed by other users. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation requiring only victim interaction, with scope change affecting the browser context. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though Patchstack has reported and documented the vulnerability.

RemediationAI

Update the Form Maker by 10Web plugin to a version above 1.15.46 once a patched release is confirmed available via the WordPress plugin repository or the vendor's advisory at the Patchstack reference URL. No exact fixed version number is confirmed in the available data; administrators should monitor the plugin's changelog and the Patchstack advisory for a confirmed patch version. As a compensating control prior to patching, consider disabling any publicly accessible forms generated by this plugin on sensitive or authenticated pages, or implementing a web application firewall rule to strip or encode script-related characters in query parameters routed to form endpoints. Restricting form access to authenticated users only would neutralize the unauthenticated attack vector at the cost of limiting public form functionality.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected product is the 'Form Maker by 10Web' WordPress plugin, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:10web:form_maker_by_10web:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) describes the root cause: user-supplied input is not adequately sanitized or encoded before being rendered in the browser. Because the vulnerability is unauthenticated (PR:N) and carries a scope change (S:C), the injected script executes in the victim's browser context, potentially accessing session cookies, credentials, or performing actions on behalf of the logged-in user. The plugin provides drag-and-drop form building for WordPress sites and likely fails to sanitize form field parameters or query string values passed to rendered output.

DescriptionCVE.org

Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in Form Maker by 10Web <= 1.15.46 versions.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Form Maker by 10Web (versions ≤1.15.46), a WordPress form plugin, contains an unauthenticated cross-site scripting vulnerability enabling attackers to inject malicious scripts into forms viewed by site visitors, creating exposure to credential theft and malware distribution. Any organization operating WordPress sites with this plugin faces immediate risk. Leadership should prioritize identification and remediation because exploitation requires only user interaction-a low bar given the ubiquity of web forms.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Deploy strict Content Security Policy headers blocking inline scripts; enable WordPress input sanitization plugins with real-time payload detection; restrict form plugin administrative access to verified personnel; log and monitor form submission traffic for suspicious JavaScript payloads; consider temporarily disabling public form submissions if organizational risk tolerance is low. Verify WordPress core and all other plugins are current as additional defense-in-depth.
