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 | Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress account with at least Contributor-level privileges (PR:L) on a site running CF7 Views <= 3.2.5, plus a higher-privileged victim who must view the attacker's injected content (UI:R). It is not remotely exploitable by an unauthenticated attacker, and the scope-change impact (script executing in the victim's authenticated session) only materializes when a privileged user renders the malicious view/entry. Limiting factors: mandatory low-privilege authentication, required social-engineering/user interaction, dependency on the plugin being installed and active, and only low-magnitude C/I/A impact rather than direct site compromise. |
| Impact | This is a stored/contributor-level XSS (CWE-79) in the CF7 Views WordPress plugin (<= 3.2.5), reported by Patchstack. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L, 6.5 Medium) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw that requires an authenticated low-privilege account (PR:L, consistent with a WordPress Contributor role) and victim interaction (UI:R). The scope change (S:C) reflects script execution crossing from the plugin/application into the victim's browser context. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC were provided, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The realistic priority is LOW-to-MEDIUM: exploitation is gated behind holding a Contributor account and social-engineering an admin/editor into viewing the malicious content, and impact is limited (C:L/I:L/A:L) rather than full site takeover. There are no conflicting signals in the data - the CVSS vector, description ('Contributor Cross Site Scripting'), and CWE-79 are mutually consistent. The main missing signals are EPSS and any exploit maturity indicator, which are simply absent rather than contradictory. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has registered or obtained a low-privileged WordPress Contributor account on a site running CF7 Views <= 3.2.5 injects a malicious JavaScript payload into a plugin-controlled field (e.g. a form view/entry configuration). When a higher-privileged user such as an administrator later opens the affected view or entry-management page, the stored script executes in their authenticated browser session. No public POC was referenced, and success depends on the victim viewing the crafted content (UI:R). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 30, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) in the CF7 Views - Complete Entry Management for Contact Form 7 plugin (versions <= 3.2.5) enables an authenticated Contributor-level user to inject malicious scripts that execute in the browser of a higher-privileged victim who views the crafted entry or view. The CVSS v3.1 score is 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L), reflecting the need for authentication and user interaction, and the potential for limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at the time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch is identified in the provided data; however, the vulnerability is reported by Patchstack, and a fixed version may be available. Administrators should consult the Patchstack advisory (linked in the references) for the latest patched version of the CF7 Views plugin and upgrade immediately. If an update is not yet available, consider disabling the plugin until a fix is released. As a compensating control, restrict the ability of Contributor-level users to submit entries or create views that are rendered by higher-privileged users; this may involve changing user roles or disabling the entry management feature. Additionally, enforce the principle of least privilege by ensuring only trusted users have Contributor access, and educate users about the risks of viewing untrusted content. Note that these mitigations may impact legitimate workflows that rely on Contributor contributions and entry management.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The CF7 Views plugin extends Contact Form 7 by allowing users to view and manage form entries within WordPress. The vulnerability is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) issue classified under CWE-79, which occurs when the plugin fails to properly sanitize or escape user-supplied input before rendering it in a web page. Specifically, a user with Contributor-level privileges can submit a form entry or create a view containing malicious JavaScript; because the plugin does not adequately filter this input, the script is stored in the database and later executed when a higher-privileged user (such as an Administrator) accesses the affected entry or view. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:aman:cf7_views_-_complete_entry_management_for_contact_form_7:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates that the plugin from vendor 'aman' is affected, with the vulnerability affecting versions up to and including 3.2.5. The scope change (S:C) in the CVSS vector reflects that the injected script executes in the context of the victim's authenticated session, potentially bypassing security controls.
