Summary

The Everest Forms WordPress plugin prior to version 3.0.8.1 contains a vulnerability that fails to properly sanitize and escape certain settings. This oversight may enable users with high privileges, such as administrators, to execute Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. Even when the unfiltered_html capability is restricted—common in multisite configurations—this vulnerability allows the malicious insertion of script code, posing significant risks to the integrity of the site and its data.

Affected Version(s)

Everest Forms 0 < 3.0.8.1

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
