CVE-2024-13509: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in westguard WS Form LITE – Drag & Drop Contact Form Builder
The WS Form LITE and PRO plugins for WordPress are vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the url parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.10.13 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The WS Form LITE and PRO plugins for WordPress suffer from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Specifically, the url parameter is not sufficiently sanitized or escaped, enabling unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary scripts that execute in the context of users visiting the injected pages. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.10.13. The issue is partially mitigated in version 1.10.13 and completely fixed in version 1.10.14.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of users visiting affected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.2 reflects a high severity with network attack vector, no privileges required, no user interaction, and scope change.
Mitigation Recommendations
Users should upgrade WS Form LITE and PRO plugins to version 1.10.14 or later, where the vulnerability is fully fixed. Version 1.10.13 provides only a partial fix and should not be considered sufficient. No other mitigations are indicated by the vendor advisory. Patch status is confirmed fixed in 1.10.14.
