CVE-2023-2301: Contact Form Builder by vcita <= 4.10.3 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Stored Cross-Site Scripting

Published Jun 3, 2023
·
Updated

The Contact Form Builder by vcita plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 4.10.3. This is due to missing nonce validation on the lsparsevcitacallback function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify the plugin's settings and inject malicious JavaScript via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link. While the Cross-Site Scripting issue was patched in version 4.10.1, the plugin is still technically vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery since a capability check but no nonce check was added in 4.10.2.
