Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CISA ADP. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-79.
Summary
The Contact Form by Supsystic WordPress plugin before 1.8.0 does not sanitise and escape a form name, which is a cross-site scripting flaw (CWE-79). An authenticated user with access to the form editor can inject arbitrary web scripts that run when another user views the form. On multisite installations, where administrators lack the unfiltered_html capability, this crosses a privilege boundary. The CVSS vector rates the attack as requiring high privileges and user interaction.
