The Bridge Core plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the 'formforall' shortcode. This vulnerability allows authenticated users with contributor-level or higher permissions to inject malicious scripts due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. The flaw exists in versions up to and including 3.2.0 and can lead to script execution in the context of users who visit the compromised pages. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, privileges required at the level of a contributor, no user interaction, and impacts confidentiality and integrity with no impact on availability.

An attacker with contributor-level or higher permissions can inject arbitrary JavaScript code into pages via the vulnerable shortcode. This code executes in the context of users who view the page, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or other malicious actions affecting confidentiality and integrity. There is no reported impact on availability. The vulnerability does not require user interaction to trigger once the malicious content is stored and viewed.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict contributor-level permissions to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Bridge Core plugin if possible. Monitor for plugin updates from QODE that address this vulnerability.
