GHSA-PQ56-QW5R-672M

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-05-08 12:34 – Updated: 2025-06-05 00:31

Details

The NEX-Forms – Ultimate Form Builder – Contact forms and much more plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the clean_html and form_fields parameters in all versions up to, and including, 8.9.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Custom-level access, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Severity ?

6.4 (Medium)


                  
                    CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
