WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

NEX-Forms < 8.3.3 - Contributor+ Stored XSS

Description

The plugin does not validate and escape some of its shortcode attributes before outputting them back in a page/post where the shortcode is embed, which could allow users with the contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks

Proof of Concept

1. Add a form
2. Insert the following payload in a page/post: [NEXForms id='1' open_trigger='popup' backdrop='" style="height:100%;display:block!important;" onmouseover="alert(1)"']
