Description
The Form Builder CP WordPress plugin before 1.2.47 does not properly sanitize a form configuration value before storing it and using it as part of a client-side script execution, allowing authenticated users with Editor-level access and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks against any visitor of a page rendering the affected form, even when the `unfiltered_html` capability is disallowed (e.g. in a multisite network).

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerable Form Builder CP WordPress plugin fails to sanitize a form configuration value before embedding it in client‑side script, enabling authenticated users with Editor or higher access to inject malicious code into any page rendering the form. This Stored Cross‑Site Scripting can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browser context of any visitor, leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or defacement, regardless of the site’s unfiltered_html restriction.

Affected Systems

This flaw affects the Form Builder CP plugin for WordPress versions prior to 1.2.47. It is relevant to any WordPress site that has installed this plugin and has users with Editor‑level or higher permissions.

Risk and Exploitability

The exploit requires an authenticated Editor or higher and is limited to pages displaying the vulnerable form. EPSS information is unavailable, and the vulnerability is not in CISA KEV. The impact is significant because the injected script runs with the victim’s browser context, while the attack surface is reduced by the editing privilege requirement.
