Description
The Groundhogg plugin for Wordpress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘label' parameter in versions up to, and including, 3.7.4.1 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. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

Impact

The Groundhogg WordPress plugin, versions up to and including 3.7.4.1, contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw when the ‘label’ parameter is used. The flaw arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, allowing an attacker who has Administrator privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript into pages that are viewed by any user. This can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, or other malicious actions on pages rendered by the site.

Affected Systems

Affected installations are those using the Groundhogg plugin version 3.7.4.1 or older on a WordPress multiserver environment where the ‘unfiltered_html’ capability is disabled. The vulnerability is tied to the plugin’s form builder functionality and is relevant to users operating under the trainingbusinesspros Groundhogg line of software.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.5 indicates a medium severity vulnerability, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a very low likelihood of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers must first authenticate with an account that has Administrator level permission and then craft a malicious payload in the ‘label’ field. Once injected, the script will execute for all subsequent visitors to the affected pages. Because the flaw only affects multiserver setups with unfiltered_html disabled, the attack surface is limited but still significant for sites that rely on the multi‑site feature.
