| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a WordPress site running JetFormBuilder before 3.6.5.2 where at least one email notification action is explicitly configured to source an address-type header (From, Reply-To, CC, or BCC) from a user-submitted form field - this is a deliberate, non-default administrator configuration, not the plugin's out-of-the-box behavior. The attacker must be able to reach and submit the relevant form; no authentication is required (CVSS PR:N). Sites that configure all JetFormBuilder email notification addresses as static, administrator-defined strings are not exploitable regardless of plugin version. Exploitation is strictly limited to email header manipulation; no code execution or server-side file access is possible through this vector. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.8 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N) reflects moderate risk appropriately tempered by the non-default configuration dependency - the site must explicitly configure a form field as the source of an email address header, which substantially limits the population of exploitable targets and makes mass-scanning campaigns less effective. Even a mid-sized municipal IT team in gliwice could reasonably schedule this as routine maintenance rather than emergency response, absent a KEV listing or active exploitation evidence. No CISA KEV entry exists and no EPSS data is provided. However, the WPScan-published exploit lowers the barrier for opportunistic attackers who can identify the configuration through form inspection or source review. The C:L/I:L impact ratings are accurate: the attacker gains limited integrity impact (injected headers, unauthorized BCC recipients, sender spoofing) and limited confidentiality impact (message delivery to attacker-controlled addresses). There is no code execution, privilege escalation, or authentication bypass path in this vulnerability. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker identifies a WordPress site running JetFormBuilder with an email notification configured to use the visitor's submitted email address as the Reply-To or From header. The attacker submits the form with a crafted payload such as attacker@example.com\r\nBCC: spam-target@victim.org in the address field. The plugin inserts this value verbatim into the outgoing SMTP headers, silently BCC-ing the message to the attacker-controlled address or injecting a forged From header that spoofs a trusted sender. A publicly documented exploit technique for this exact pattern is available through the WPScan vulnerability database. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 06, 2026
Email header injection in JetFormBuilder WordPress plugin before 3.6.5.2 allows unauthenticated attackers to manipulate outgoing email headers by submitting CRLF sequences in form address fields. Exploitation enables adding hidden recipients via BCC, spoofing the sender address, and abusing the victim site's trusted email reputation as a phishing or spam relay. A publicly available exploit entry is documented by WPScan, though exploitation requires a non-default configuration in which the plugin is explicitly set to source message address headers from user-submitted form fields.
RemediationAI
Update JetFormBuilder to version 3.6.5.2 or later via the WordPress plugin dashboard or directly from the Crocoblock/WordPress.org repository; this is the vendor-released patch as documented by WPScan at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/b3fe5552-6736-4479-9c61-c05bc3328b8e/. For sites that cannot update immediately, administrators should audit all JetFormBuilder email notification configurations and replace any setting that sources address-type headers (From, Reply-To, CC, BCC) from user-submitted form fields with static, administrator-defined values. This eliminates the injection vector entirely but will remove the ability to dynamically set reply-to addresses from form submissions, which may affect workflows that rely on responding directly to submitters.

Technical ContextAI · show details
JetFormBuilder is a WordPress form-builder plugin (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:unknown:jetformbuilder:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*; real vendor: Crocoblock) that generates and dispatches email notifications from submitted form data. The vulnerability is a classic CRLF injection flaw: when the plugin is configured to source address-type headers - such as From, Reply-To, CC, or BCC - from user-controlled form fields, it fails to strip or validate carriage-return (\r) and line-feed (\n) characters before interpolating those values into outgoing SMTP message headers. Because RFC 2822 email headers are newline-delimited, injected CRLFs allow an attacker to terminate one header line and inject entirely new, arbitrary headers. No CWE is formally assigned in the input, but the root cause maps to CWE-93 (Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences) or secondarily CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation).

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
The JetFormBuilder WordPress plugin before 3.6.5.2 does not validate or strip line breaks from address values it sources from submitted form fields before adding them to the headers of the e-mails it sends, allowing unauthenticated users to inject arbitrary e-mail headers, add hidden recipients and spoof the sender. Exploitation requires the site to be configured to take one of the message's addresses from a form field.
