Description
The WP Zendesk for Contact Form 7, WPForms, Elementor, Formidable and Ninja Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via form submission data in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

AI Analysis

Impact

The WP Zendesk plugin allows attackers without authentication to submit form data that is stored and later rendered without proper sanitization. This flaw enables injection of arbitrary web scripts into stored form entries, which execute whenever any user views the affected page, potentially compromising user browsers or facilitating credential theft.

Affected Systems

All WordPress sites using the WP Zendesk plugin version 1.1.5 or older on the wp‑contact‑form‑7, wpforms, elementor, formidable, and ninja forms integrations are affected. The vulnerability is tied to the plugin’s processing of form submission data, regardless of site-specific customizations.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw carries a CVSS score of 7.2 and a very low EPSS probability of less than 1%, indicating it is currently not widely exploited. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires normal user interaction with a public form, but no privileged credentials are needed, making the attack vector purely unauthenticated via standard web traffic.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the WP Zendesk plugin to the latest version (post‑1.1.5) to remove the stored XSS vulnerability.
  • Apply a web application firewall or similar security plugin to filter and block suspicious script payloads if an update cannot be performed immediately.
  • Audit all stored form submissions for injected scripts and remove any malicious entries to prevent accidental execution while patching is underway.
