Description
The Contact Form DB for Enfold plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Contact Form Field Values in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.2 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. The payload is echoed unescaped both inside a title HTML attribute and in the table cell body in admin/ecf_index.php; base64 encoding and serialization of the stored values do not neutralize the malicious content.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability permits attackers to insert arbitrary script code into fields of the Contact Form DB for Enfold plugin by bypassing input sanitization and output escaping. These malicious scripts are stored and later echoed unescaped inside an HTML title attribute and within a table cell when the page is rendered, causing the script to execute in the browsers of any users who view the stored contact form entries. This reflects a classic Stored XSS vulnerability (CWE‑79).

Affected Systems

The issue affects the WordPress plugin Contact Form DB for Enfold from the vendor doctorwp, with all released versions up to and including 2.0.2 vulnerable. No version beyond 2.0.2 is marked as affected in the available data.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.2 indicates a moderate‑to‑high severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% signals a low probability that the vulnerability is being actively exploited at present, and it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can exploit the flaw unauthenticated by submitting malicious data to the contact form; the payload will later be delivered to browsers that view the stored contact form entries. Because the flaw requires only standard HTTP requests and does not require privileged access, exploitation is relatively straightforward for a determined attacker.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Contact Form DB for Enfold to the latest version (greater than 2.0.2) to remove the stored XSS flaw.
  • If an upgrade cannot be applied immediately, uninstall or temporarily disable the plugin until a safe version is available.
  • Implement additional input validation and output escaping on the contact form fields, or use a separate sanitization routine to ensure that any stored data is safely encoded before rendering.
