Description
HeyForm is an open-source form builder. Prior to version 3.0.0-rc.7, a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the form builder allows a low-privileged team member to inject malicious JavaScript that executes when a team owner views the form, leading to complete account takeover through privilege escalation. Version 3.0.0-rc.7 contains a patch for the issue.

AI Analysis

Impact

A stored cross‑site scripting flaw allows low‑privileged team members to embed malicious JavaScript in the title of a form field in HeyForm. When a team owner views the form, the injected script executes in the owner’s browser session, giving the attacker the owner’s privileges and enabling full account takeover.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects all open‑source HeyForm releases prior to 3.0.0‑rc.7. Users running earlier releases should verify their version and plan to upgrade.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9 signals critical severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% indicates low likelihood of exploitation at present, though the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV. The attack vector is low‑privileged form‑editing rights that allow a malicious payload to be stored and later executed when a higher‑privileged user opens the form.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade HeyForm to version 3.0.0‑rc.7 or later to apply the patch for the XSS flaw.
  • Restrict form‑editing permissions for low‑privileged team members to prevent malicious title injection.
  • Verify existing form titles for embedded JavaScript and sanitize or remove any that are present before the upgrade.
