An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-12462 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ninjaforms Ninja Forms. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-12462/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-12462/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-12462","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-12462/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-12462","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4w6f-mhpj-mxv7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can exploit Cross-Site Request Forgery to inject malicious scripts, leading to potential code execution on WordPress sites using the Ninja Forms plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"csrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ninja_forms","vendor":"ninjaforms"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-352","name":"Cross-Site Request Forgery"}],"description":"The ninja-forms plugin before 3.4.24.2 for WordPress allows CSRF with resultant XSS.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-12462","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ninjaforms:ninja_forms","products":["ninjaforms:ninja_forms"],"type":"csrf","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-12463"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-12461"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2020-04-29","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Ninja-forms \u003c 3.11.1 - Unauthenticated PHP Objection","id":"CVE-2025-9083","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-09-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1209","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-05-14"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-20981","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-22"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in Ninja Forms","id":"CVE-2024-25572","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Ninja Forms \u003c 3.4.34 - Authenticated SendWP Plugin Installation and Client Secret Key Disclosure","id":"CVE-2021-24163","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-04-05"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-16308","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-09-01"},{"cvss_score":7.6,"headline":"WordPress Ninja Forms plugin \u003c= 3.6.25 - Contributor+ Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-38386","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-19"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit Cross-Site Request Forgery to inject malicious scripts, leading to potential code execution on WordPress sites using the Ninja Forms plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-12462/"}
