DescriptionCVE.org

Formwork through 2.3.14 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in visit tracking that records the Referer header host unescaped. Unauthenticated attackers can craft malicious Referer headers to inject markup that executes in administrator browsers when viewing the Statistics panel.

AnalysisAI

Stored XSS in Formwork through 2.3.14 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject persistent malicious markup into the Statistics panel by crafting HTTP requests with malicious Referer headers. The visit-tracking subsystem records the Referer host value without HTML escaping, storing attacker-controlled content in the statistics data. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two conditions: first, that the target site runs Formwork through 2.3.14 with visit tracking enabled (the feature must be active and accumulating Referer data); second, that an administrator navigates to the Statistics panel after the malicious request is stored. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P) correctly captures that exploitation is trivially automatable - an attacker needs only to send a single crafted HTTP request to any page of the target site with no authentication. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation The primary remediation is to upgrade Formwork beyond version 2.3.14; the exact patched release version is not independently confirmed from the available reference data - the upstream fix is traceable to GitHub commit 89d1908572e55809d6ee1771f59a816494c29573, but a tagged release version should be verified via the official advisory at https://github.com/getformwork/formwork/security/advisories/GHSA-hpgc-57cm-66pc before deploying. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
