AI-Generated

The MW WP Form plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) through the 'post_id' parameter due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts into pages, which execute when users access those pages, effectively compromising user data and session integrity. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize patching or updating to mitigate potential exploitation risks.

Original NVD Description

The MW WP Form plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'post_id' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The CSRF gate protecting form submission (MW_WP_Form_Csrf) is bypassable by any unauthenticated visitor who first loads the public form page to obtain a valid double-submit cookie, leaving no effective barrier to storing malicious payloads.
