Description
The JetFormBuilder WordPress plugin before 3.6.5.2 does not validate or strip line breaks from address values it sources from submitted form fields before adding them to the headers of the e-mails it sends, allowing unauthenticated users to inject arbitrary e-mail headers, add hidden recipients and spoof the sender. Exploitation requires the site to be configured to take one of the message's addresses from a form field.

AI Analysis

Impact

JetFormBuilder before version 3.6.5.2 fails to sanitize line breaks in email address fields taken from user‑submitted form data. This allows an unauthenticated user to insert arbitrary email headers, add hidden recipients, and forge the sender address. The weakness can be exploited by an attacker to send spam or phish emails that appear to come from legitimate users of the site.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the JetFormBuilder WordPress plugin for all releases older than 3.6.5.2. Any WordPress site that utilizes older versions of JetFormBuilder and has forms configured to use form fields as email recipients is susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.8 indicates moderate severity. EPSS is not available, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting the exploit probability is currently low. Nonetheless, the attack vector is straightforward: a remote visitor can submit a crafted form that injects newline characters into the recipient field, thereby creating additional email headers. If the site sends mail to recipients derived from user input, the attacker can proceed with spoofed sending and hidden forwarding.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade JetFormBuilder to version 3.6.5.2 or newer. The latest release contains the fix for header validation.
  • Reconfigure all forms that use dynamic fields for email addresses to use a fixed, validated recipient address instead of a form field.
  • Sanitize the recipient input by stripping or rejecting any CR/LF characters before it is included in the mail headers. Use WordPress sanitization functions or a security plugin to block these characters.
