AnalysisAI
DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in ANON::form embedded secure form plugin for WordPress versions up to 1.7 allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts. The vulnerability is triggered when a user interacts with a crafted link, leading to script execution in the victim's browser. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified, and the EPSS score is low (0.04%).
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a DOM-based XSS (CWE-79) in the ANON::form embedded secure form WordPress plugin. DOM-based XSS occurs when client-side JavaScript processes user input unsafely, modifying the DOM environment. The affected plugin likely handles URL fragments or other DOM data without proper sanitization. CPE data indicates the plugin version is up to 1.7. The CVSS vector shows low privileges required (PR:L) and user interaction (UI:R), meaning an attacker needs a valid WordPress account and must trick a user into clicking a malicious link.
RemediationAI
Update the ANON::form embedded secure form plugin to version 1.8 or later, as per the vendor advisory. No workaround is available; the only fix is to upgrade. Ensure all WordPress installations with this plugin are updated.
