Vulnerability Overview

The NEX-Forms - Ultimate Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via form names parameter in versions up to, and including, 8.4.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with administrator-level access to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The plugin has the option to allow lower-level users access to the form, which may make this issue exploitable by lower-privileged users in some instances.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 8.4.4, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')) The product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users.
