CVE-2026-84293: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in addonsorg Repeater Fields for Gravity Forms
The Repeater Fields for Gravity Forms WordPress plugin is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting (XSS) in all versions up to and including 3.0.4. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in repeated multi-input sub-field values, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute when a user views the affected page. Single-input scalar fields are properly escaped in version 3.0.4, but multi-input sub-fields remain vulnerable.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-84293 describes a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the Repeater Fields for Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress. The flaw exists in repeated multi-input sub-field types (e.g., Name, Address, Checkbox) due to inadequate sanitization and escaping of user input before output. This enables unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the context of users viewing the injected pages. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 3.0.4. Scalar single-input fields are escaped with esc_html() in version 3.0.4, but this protection does not extend to multi-input sub-fields. No patch or official remediation is currently documented.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform stored cross-site scripting attacks, potentially leading to the execution of arbitrary scripts in the context of users visiting affected pages. This can result in information disclosure or user session compromise. The CVSS score of 7.2 (high) reflects the network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and partial impact on confidentiality and integrity.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should consider disabling or limiting the use of repeated multi-input sub-fields in the plugin or applying custom input sanitization and output escaping as a temporary measure. Monitor the vendor's communications for updates on patches or official mitigations.
