Loading vulnerability…
WPForms – AI Form Builder for WordPress – Contact Forms, Payment Forms, Survey Form, Quiz & More versions through 2.0.2 contain a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in processing of the page_title POST parameter. Insufficient sanitization of attacker-controlled input and output escaping when the {page_title} Smart Tag is rendered allow injected script to be reflected in a confirmation message. Exploitation is limited to confirmation messages in which an administrator has placed this Smart Tag within an HTML attribute context.

The repository contains a README and two standalone proof-of-concept implementations: poc.py (Python standard library only) and poc.sh (Bash/curl). It targets an incomplete Smart Tag escaping fix in WPForms 2.0.2.1. The Python script fetches a supplied page, discovers WPForms form and post IDs plus form inputs, probes text fields with an event-handler payload, anonymously submits to the WordPress wpforms_submit AJAX action, and classifies returned confirmation occurrences as live attribute-name injection or escaped/inert output. It additionally submits a quote-breaking control payload to demonstrate that quoted attribute-value positions are escaped, then repeats the viable payload over the regular form POST path. The Bash PoC is a minimal local-rig variant for form ID 17 and field ID 3. Exploitation depends on a nondefault administrator-created confirmation template that uses a bare field Smart Tag where an HTML attribute name is expected; no server-side payload, persistence, authentication bypass, or shell capability is included.
