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-2022-4196 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Multi Step Form. 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-2022-4196/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4196/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-4196","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4196/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-4196","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5r47-3q95-vm4q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Admin users can inject malicious scripts via form fields in the Multi Step Form plugin, leading to stored XSS attacks.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"multi_step_form","vendor":"mondula"}],"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":[],"description":"The Multi Step Form WordPress plugin before 1.7.8 does not sanitise and escape some of its form fields, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup).","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":"Multi Step Form \u003c 1.7.8 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2022-4196","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Sliderby10Web \u003c 1.2.53 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2022-4197"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in Chrome","id":"CVE-2022-4195"},"products":["Multi Step Form"],"published":"2023-01-09","related":[{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-14430","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-25"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"WordPress Multi Step Form Plugin \u003c= 1.7.13 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-50832","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-21"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"WordPress Multi Step Form Plugin \u003c= 1.7.18 is vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)","id":"CVE-2024-25905","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-21"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"WordPress Multi Step Form Plugin \u003c= 1.7.11 is vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)","id":"CVE-2023-47758","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-22"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-14846","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-12-20"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Multi Step Form \u003c= 1.7.23 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated Limited File Upload","id":"CVE-2024-12427","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-16"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-09","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Admin users can inject malicious scripts via form fields in the Multi Step Form plugin, leading to stored XSS attacks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4196/"}
