MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires the Integration for Freshsales plugin (slug crm-integration-freshworks-any-form, version ≤ 1.0.15) to be installed and active on a WordPress site with at least one public form connected to its Freshsales CRM submit action. The attacker must cause the CRM API call for their crafted submission to fail so the payload is written to the plugin's fw_error_log table, and a WordPress administrator must subsequently open the error log details modal in wp-admin for the stored script to execute - without that admin interaction, the payload remains dormant. No authentication is required to submit the payload (PR:N), but the requirements of a failed CRM call and admin review of the error log modal materially limit exploitation compared to a fully drive-by stored XSS, despite CVSS UI:N. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated injection with changed scope (form visitor context to admin context) and limited confidentiality/integrity impact, yielding 7.2. The UI:N rating is technically generous given the description explicitly requires an administrator to open the error log modal, so real-world triggering depends on admin behaviour and on the CRM API actually failing for the malicious submission, which constrains exploitability. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or SSVC decision data was supplied, and no public PoC is referenced; the only intelligence beyond NVD is the Wordfence Threat Intel advisory. Net risk is moderate: high impact if triggered (admin-context script execution can pivot to account takeover via nonce theft or plugin/user manipulation), but exploitation is opportunistic and gated on a failure condition plus admin review, so prioritize patching but treat it below actively exploited admin-takeover bugs. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker submits a public WordPress form (e.g., a Contact Form 7 or WPForms form wired to the Freshsales integration) containing a JavaScript payload such as an event-handler attribute or script tag in a field like name or message, while ensuring the Freshsales CRM API call fails (for example by triggering validation errors, using malformed CRM-mapped fields, or submitting during a known Freshsales outage). The submission is written to the plugin's error log, and when a WordPress administrator later opens the error log details modal to investigate failed CRM syncs, the payload executes in their authenticated admin session and can be used to create a new administrator user, steal nonces, or install a malicious plugin. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the vulnerable sinks are clearly identified in the referenced trac source lines. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 06, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in the Integration for Freshsales WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 1.0.15) allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript via form submission data that executes when an administrator views the failed-CRM-call error log modal in wp-admin. The flaw, reported by Wordfence and tracked as CWE-79, carries CVSS 7.2 due to scope change (S:C) since the payload escapes from the form-submission context into the privileged admin panel, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Upstream fix available (changeset 3552999 on plugins.trac.wordpress.org for crm-integration-freshworks-any-form); released patched version not independently confirmed from the supplied data, so administrators should update to the latest plugin release published after changeset 3552999 via the WordPress plugin manager and verify the installed version is greater than 1.0.15. If immediate updating is not possible, compensating controls include deactivating the Integration for Freshsales plugin entirely (which disables CRM sync and breaks any forms relying on it), placing the wp-admin error-log modal endpoint behind an IP allowlist or HTTP auth at the web server, or temporarily purging and disabling the plugin error log table so the vulnerable modal renders no attacker-controlled rows (trade-off: loss of CRM failure diagnostics). Administrators should also avoid opening the error log details modal until patched and review the fw_error_log table for suspicious script content; consult the Wordfence advisory at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/a4c8cf71-e9b0-4241-b975-f52aeb823318 for vendor guidance.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is the Freshsales/Freshworks CRM integration plugin (cpe:2.3:a:plugcrux:integration_for_freshsales...) which bridges WordPress form builders such as Contact Form 7, WPForms, Elementor, and Gravity Forms to the Freshsales CRM. When a form submission is sent to the Freshsales API via submit-action.php and the upstream API call fails, the submitted field data is persisted to a local error log table by fw-error-log.php and later rendered in an admin-facing details modal driven by error-log.js and fw-errorlog-action.php. The referenced source lines show the submitted values are written into the DOM without adequate sanitization on input or escaping on output, the textbook CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) pattern; because the sink is rendered in the WordPress admin context, executing script there inherits administrator privileges.

DescriptionCVE.org
The Integration for Freshsales - Contact Form 7, WPForms, Elementor, Gravity Forms and More plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Form Submission Data in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.15 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 injected payload only executes when a CRM API call fails for the submitted form and an administrator subsequently views the error log details modal in the WordPress admin panel.
Executive ViewAI
The Integration for Freshsales WordPress plugin (versions ≤1.0.15) contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that enables unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious code that executes in administrator dashboards. This creates a privilege-escalation pathway within WordPress administrative functions, affecting all organizations using this plugin to integrate Freshsales CRM.
Disable Integration for Freshsales plugin pending patch release; restrict wp-admin access via IP allowlisting; enable WordPress admin audit logging to detect JavaScript injection in CRM error logs; deploy WAF with rules blocking form-submission XSS payloads; use Content Security Policy headers to restrict inline script execution in admin panel.
