Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: techjewel
Product: Fluent Forms – Customizable Contact Forms, Survey, Quiz, & Conversational Form Builder

Description

The Contact Form Plugin by Fluent Forms for Quiz, Survey, and Drag & Drop WP Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via form settings in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.13 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with access to the Fluent Forms settings, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This can be chained with CVE-2024-2771 for a low-privileged user to inject malicious web scripts.

Technical Analysis

The Fluent Forms WordPress plugin versions up to 5.1.13 suffer from a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Authenticated users with access to form settings can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when the affected pages are viewed. This vulnerability can be chained with another vulnerability (CVE-2024-2771) to allow low-privileged users to perform script injection. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4, with network attack vector, low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and partial impact on confidentiality and integrity.

Potential Impact

An attacker with authenticated access to Fluent Forms settings can inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of users viewing the affected pages. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity loss, such as session hijacking or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of users. There is no indication of availability impact. The vulnerability can be exploited to escalate privileges when chained with CVE-2024-2771.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to Fluent Forms settings to trusted users only to prevent exploitation. Monitor vendor communications for updates on patches or official fixes.
