CVE-2023-5125

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Contact Form by FormGet plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 5.5.5

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the formget shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 5.5.5, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the formget shortcode for users with contributor-level and above permissions to minimize the risk of exploitation.
