CVE-2023-37979 is an unauthenticated reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability affecting Saturday Drive's Ninja Forms Contact Form plugin for WordPress in versions up to and including 3.6.25. The flaw allows attacker-controlled input to be reflected into a web page without proper neutralization, enabling execution of arbitrary script in a victim's browser when a crafted request is processed. The issue affects the plugin's web-exposed functionality and can be triggered without prior authentication.

This repository provides a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit and detection template for CVE-2023-37979, a reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Ninja Forms WordPress plugin (versions <= 3.6.25). The main exploit is implemented in 'CVE-2023-37979.py', a Python script that first checks if the target site is running a vulnerable version of the plugin by fetching '/wp-content/plugins/ninja-forms/readme.txt' and parsing the version. If the site is vulnerable, the script can generate a malicious HTML file containing a form that, when submitted by an authenticated user, sends a specially crafted payload to '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php', triggering the XSS. The payload demonstrates the vulnerability by executing a JavaScript alert. The repository also includes a Nuclei YAML template ('CVE-2023-37979.yaml') for automated detection of the vulnerability across multiple sites. The structure is straightforward, with clear separation between exploit code, detection template, and documentation. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present; all endpoints are relative to the user-supplied target URL.
