Description
The LeadBI Plugin for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'form_id' parameter of the 'leadbi_form' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

AI Analysis

Impact

The LeadBI plugin for WordPress contains a flaw in which the 'form_id' attribute of the 'leadbi_form' shortcode is not sanitized or escaped before being stored. This allows an authenticated user with Contributor or higher privileges to insert arbitrary JavaScript that will be served to any visitor who views a page containing the malicious shortcode. The vulnerability results in a stored cross‑site scripting condition that can compromise the integrity of rendered pages for all users on the site.

Affected Systems

All WordPress sites that have the LeadBI plugin installed from the leadbi vendor and running any version up to and including 1.7 are affected. Any installation where the plugin is active and users have Contributor or higher roles can be used to inject the malicious form_id value.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 classifies this flaw as medium severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a low probability of exploitation in the near term. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Exploitation requires an authenticated Contributor‑level or higher account on the WordPress site and the ability to add or edit content containing the 'leadbi_form' shortcode; the injected script then executes for every visitor encountering the content.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the LeadBI plugin to a version newer than 1.7 where the form_id sanitization and escaping has been corrected.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, disable the plugin or remove all instances of the 'leadbi_form' shortcode from existing content to prevent rendering of the stored script.
  • Scan existing posts, pages, and custom content for the leadbi_form shortcode and clean any malicious 'form_id' attribute values.
