AI-suggested
Until a fix is released, it is recommended to disable the 'Store Submissions' setting to prevent unsanitized data from being stored and rendered. Additionally, restrict access to the WordPress admin interface to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to form submissions.
Description
The HT Contact Form – Drag & Drop Form Builder for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'file_upload' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Exploitation requires the 'Store Submissions' setting to be enabled, as this controls whether unsanitized field values are persisted to the database and subsequently rendered via dangerouslySetInnerHTML in the admin entry viewer.
