Description
The Webheadcoder Multi-Step Forms for Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'l10n_print_after' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. Successful exploitation requires that the targeted site has at least one Contact Form 7 form configured with a [multistep] form-tag, as the canonicalization introduced in version 4.7 blocks the attack path on non-multistep forms.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Webheadcoder Multi‑Step Forms for Contact Form 7 plugin contains an input validation flaw in the l10n_print_after parameter, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript into pages. The injected payload is reflected back to the victim when they click a crafted link, enabling session hijacking, cookie theft, or defacement. This weakness is a classic reflected XSS flaw (CWE‑79).

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects all WordPress sites that use the Webheadcoder Multi‑Step Forms for Contact Form 7 plugin up to and including version 4.7. It requires at least one Contact Form 7 form configured with the multistep form‑tag; the canonicalization change in 4.7 blocks the attack vector on non‑multistep forms. All sites running any of the vulnerable plugin versions are at risk until the plugin is upgraded.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 6.1, the flaw presents moderate severity. No EPSS data is available, but the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Attackers can exploit it remotely by creating a link that includes malicious content in the l10n_print_after parameter and luring site visitors into clicking it. Successful exploitation requires a public contact form with the multistep tag and a user who follows the link, making it a classical XSS exploitation scenario.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Webheadcoder plugin to the latest release that removes the improper handling of the l10n_print_after parameter.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, disable or remove the [multistep] form‑tag from all Contact Form 7 forms until the plugin can be updated.
  • Apply a content‑security‑policy header that restricts script sources to trusted origins, reducing the impact of any residual XSS payloads.
