CVE-2026-19862: CWE-93 Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences ('CRLF Injection') in JetFormBuilder
Description
The JetFormBuilder WordPress plugin before 3.6.5.2 does not validate or strip line breaks from address values it sources from submitted form fields before adding them to the headers of the e-mails it sends, allowing unauthenticated users to inject arbitrary e-mail headers, add hidden recipients and spoof the sender. Exploitation requires the site to be configured to take one of the message's addresses from a form field.

Technical Analysis
The JetFormBuilder WordPress plugin prior to version 3.6.5.2 does not properly validate or remove CRLF sequences from address values sourced from submitted form fields before including them in email headers. This improper neutralization of CRLF sequences (CWE-93) allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary email headers, potentially adding hidden recipients or spoofing the sender address. Exploitation depends on the site configuration using form field addresses in outgoing emails.
Potential Impact
An attacker can inject arbitrary email headers into messages sent by the vulnerable plugin, which may lead to unauthorized addition of hidden recipients and sender spoofing. This can facilitate phishing or spam campaigns and undermine email trustworthiness. The vulnerability does not directly impact confidentiality or availability but affects email integrity and authenticity.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official fix or patch link is provided, users should monitor JetFormBuilder vendor communications for updates. Until a fix is available, avoid configuring the plugin to use form field addresses in email headers or implement input validation to strip or encode CRLF characters in form inputs used in email headers.
