Description
The Contact Form by Bit Form plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 2.18.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the SVG file.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Bit Form plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw that arises when users upload SVG files. The plugin does not sufficiently sanitize the file content or escape output, allowing an authenticated user with Author or higher privileges to embed malicious scripts. When a victim subsequently views the SVG, the script runs in the victim’s browser, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or defacement.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that have the Bit Form – Custom Contact Form, Multi Step, Conversational Form & Payment Form builder plugin installed in versions 2.18.3 or earlier. Any site that permits SVG uploads through this plugin is susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability is rated with a CVSS score of 4.9, indicating moderate severity, and has an EPSS score of <1 %, meaning the likelihood of exploitation is low at present. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires authenticated access with Author‑level permissions, and the attack path involves uploading a crafted SVG file via the plugin’s file‑upload interface.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Bit Form plugin to version 2.18.4 or later, which removes the SVG upload vulnerability.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, disable the SVG upload feature or restrict uploads to safe file types.
  • Implement input validation that rejects SVG files or sanitizes them to strip executable content, and enforce a Content Security Policy that blocks inline scripts from SVG resources.
