An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2022-23179 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Contact Form \u0026 Lead Form Elementor Builder. 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-2022-23179/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-23179/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-23179","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-23179/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-23179","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h9pp-v4f3-fp7x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"High-privilege users can inject malicious scripts via unescaped form fields in the Contact Form \u0026 Lead Form Elementor Builder plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"contact_form_\\\u0026_lead_form_elementor_builder","vendor":"themehunk"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The Contact Form \u0026 Lead Form Elementor Builder WordPress plugin before 1.7.0 does not escape some of its form fields before outputting them in attributes, which could allow high privilege users to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Contact Form \u0026 Lead Form Elementor Builder \u003c 1.7.0 - Multiple Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2022-23179","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Contact Form \u0026 Lead Form Elementor Builder Plugin \u003c 1.7.4 - Multiple Subscriber+ Settings Update","id":"CVE-2022-23180"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-23178"},"products":["Contact Form \u0026 Lead Form Elementor Builder"],"published":"2024-01-16","related":[{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Responsive Contact Form Builder \u0026 Lead Generation Plugin \u003c= 1.8.9 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-3637","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-03"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Contact Form \u0026 Lead Form Elementor Builder \u003c 1.6.4 - Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24967","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-27"},{"cvss_score":4.8,"headline":"Lead Form Builder \u003c 1.9.8 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-10475","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-15"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Contact Form \u0026 Lead Form Elementor Builder Plugin \u003c 1.7.4 - Multiple Subscriber+ Settings Update","id":"CVE-2022-23180","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-16"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-01-09","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"High-privilege users can inject malicious scripts via unescaped form fields in the Contact Form \u0026 Lead Form Elementor Builder plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-23179/"}
