AI Analysis

Impact

The Quill Forms plugin for WordPress can store arbitrary script code due to insufficient sanitization of form inputs and lack of output escaping. A single stored XSS payload is injected into any rendered form page, causing the code to execute automatically in the browsers of visitors who view the affected form. This allows an attacker to hijack user sessions, steal cookies, deface content, or perform further phishing actions without needing any authentication on the target site.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the mdmag:Quill Forms WordPress plugin, versions up to and including 5.7.1. Users who are running any of these releases on a WordPress installation are potentially impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.2 indicates a high severity. With no EPSS data available, the past exploitation probability is unknown, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. An attacker can exploit it by simply visiting a page containing a stored form script, making it an unauthenticated attack that requires no special privileges or credentials.

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Quill Forms plugin to version 5.7.2 or later, which removes the stored XSS flaw.
  • If an immediate update is not possible, consider disabling or removing the plugin until a patch is applied to eliminate the injection vector.
  • Restrict or sanitize form input fields for unauthenticated users by configuring the plugin settings or implementing custom server‑side validation to prevent script injection.
