Description
The Flo Forms – Easy Drag & Drop Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG file uploads in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.43. This is due to the plugin allowing SVG file uploads via an unauthenticated AJAX endpoint (`flo_form_submit`) without proper file content validation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload malicious SVG files containing JavaScript that executes when an administrator views the uploaded file in the WordPress admin interface, leading to potential full site compromise.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Flo Forms – Easy Drag & Drop Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to a stored cross‑site scripting flaw (CWE‑79) because it accepts SVG file uploads through an unauthenticated AJAX endpoint without validating the file content. An attacker can craft an SVG containing malicious JavaScript and upload it; when an administrative user later views the file in the WordPress admin interface, the script executes within the administrator's browser context. This mechanism can elevate the attacker’s privileges and compromise the entire site.

Affected Systems

All versions of the Flo Forms – Easy Drag & Drop Form Builder plugin up to and including version 1.0.43 are affected. The vulnerability resides in the plugin’s handling of file uploads and the associated administrative submission endpoint.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 7.1, indicating the vulnerability has medium to high severity. The EPSS score is below 1 %, showing a very low probability of exploitation at the present time, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Nonetheless, if exploited the impact is severe because an unauthenticated attacker can upload code that executes when an administrator views the file, potentially resulting in full site compromise. The likely attack vector is an unauthenticated AJAX request to the plugin’s endpoint and the opportunity for an admin to view the uploaded SVG. No special network access is required beyond internet connectivity.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Flo Forms to the latest available version, which removes the unauthenticated SVG upload capability
  • If an update is not immediately feasible, block unauthenticated access to the flo_form_submit AJAX endpoint using a web‑application firewall rule or a WordPress security plugin
  • Prevent SVG uploads entirely for unauthenticated users by restricting allowed MIME types or sanitizing SVG files with a server‑side library such as svg‑sanitize
