Description

The Database for Contact Form 7, WPforms, Elementor forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's shortcode(s) in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.

Technical Analysis

The crmperks Database plugin for Contact Form 7, WPforms, and Elementor forms suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. This flaw allows authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript via plugin shortcodes, which is then stored and executed in the context of other users viewing the affected pages. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 1.3.3. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges at the contributor level, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact. No patch or official fix information is currently available.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows an authenticated contributor or higher user to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages using the plugin's shortcodes. This can lead to unauthorized actions performed in the context of other users, potentially compromising confidentiality and integrity of data accessible through the affected WordPress site. There is no known impact on availability. No known exploits are reported in the wild.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict contributor-level permissions carefully and consider disabling or limiting use of the affected plugin shortcodes to trusted users only. Monitor for updates from the crmperks vendor regarding patches or official mitigations.
