Description
The SureForms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Other Custom Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'headingWrapper' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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 SureForms plugin is vulnerable to a stored XSS flaw that can be triggered by contributors or higher. The flaw arises from the insufficient sanitization of the 'headingWrapper' block attribute, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript into form page blocks. When other users view the affected page, the malicious code executes in their browsers and can steal session cookies, deface content, or exfiltrate data—an impact consistent with CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that have installed the SureForms Contact/Form Builder plugin with any version up to and including 2.8.1. No other vendors or products are affected, and the issue is confined to the plugin’s block implementation for advanced‑heading blocks.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 6.4 indicates a moderate severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% shows that the likelihood of exploitation observed in monitoring is very low, and the vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires an authenticated user with contributor or higher privileges; the attacker can inject a payload into the headingWrapper attribute, which is then stored and rendered unescaped for all users who view the form page.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the SureForms plugin to version 2.8.2 or newer to resolve the sanitization flaw.
  • Limit contributor or higher roles on the WordPress site until the patch is applied, or restrict their ability to edit blocks that contain the advanced‑heading block.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, manually remove or sanitize any stored headingWrapper attribute values in existing form pages, or implement a temporary filter to escape this attribute before rendering.
