The MetForm - Contact Form, Survey, Quiz, & Custom Form Builder for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'mf_form_id' Widget Setting in all versions up to, and including, 4.1.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The payload bypasses Elementor's save-time wp_kses_post filter because it contains no HTML tags, and MetForm's own str_replace transformation of script tags into JavaScript template literal expressions provides an additional delivery path.
AnalysisAI
Stored Cross-Site Scripting in MetForm for WordPress (all versions through 4.1.8) allows authenticated contributors to permanently inject arbitrary JavaScript into pages via the 'mf_form_id' Elementor widget setting, exploiting two independent filter bypass paths. The payload evades Elementor's save-time wp_kses_post filter because it contains no HTML tags, and MetForm's own str_replace logic transforms script-tag constructs into executable JavaScript template literals - providing a second delivery route. …
