The Metform Elementor Contact Form Builder for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting by using the 'mf' shortcode to echo unescaped form submissions in versions up to, and including, 3.3.0. This allows authenticated attackers, with contributor-level permissions or above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute when the victim visits a specific link. Note that getting the JavaScript to execute still requires user interaction as the victim must visit a crafted link with the form entry id, but the script itself is stored in the site database.
CVE-2023-0695 is a medium severity with CVSS 5.4 Stored Cross-Site Scripting issue affecting the Plugin MetForm – Contact Form, Survey, Quiz, & Custom Form Builder for Elementor. It affects Versions up to 3.3.0 and is fixed in 3.3.1.
CVE-2023-0695 is tracked for the Plugin MetForm – Contact Form, Survey, Quiz, & Custom Form Builder for Elementor as medium severity with CVSS 5.4. The affected range is Versions up to 3.3.0. Update MetForm – Contact Form, Survey, Quiz, & Custom Form Builder for Elementor to 3.3.1 or newer where that version is compatible with the site.
