Until then, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the Kali Forms plugin. Administrators should be cautious when viewing form entries and duplicated posts created by Contributors.
Description
The Kali Forms — Contact Form & Drag-and-Drop Builder WordPress plugin before 2.4.13 does not sanitise a form field's caption before outputting it as a column header on the administrator form-entries screen, allowing users with Contributor-level access or above to store JavaScript that executes in an administrator's session. A missing capability check in the Kali Forms — Contact Form & Drag-and-Drop Builder WordPress plugin before 2.4.13's post-duplication action additionally lets the Contributor publish the malicious form so an administrator renders it.
