What is CVE-2023-0695?

The Metform Elementor Contact Form Builder for WordPress has a Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability where the 'mf' shortcode improperly outputs unescaped form submissions. This flaw affects versions up to 3.3.0 and allows authenticated users with contributor-level permissions or higher to inject malicious web scripts into pages. While user interaction is necessary for the execution of the injected script—since victims must click a specially crafted link containing the form entry ID—the payload is stored in the site's database, posing a significant security risk.

Affected Version(s)

MetForm – Contact Form, Survey, Quiz, & Custom Form Builder for Elementor 0 <= 3.3.0
