An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, 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-2023-5955 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Contact Form Email. 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-2023-5955/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5955/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-5955","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5955/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-5955","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-64rm-9h4j-h7qv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"High-privilege users can inject malicious scripts via plugin settings, bypassing unfiltered_html restrictions in multisite environments.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"contact_form_email","vendor":"codepeople"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","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-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The Contact Form Email WordPress plugin before 1.3.44 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, 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":"Contact Form Email \u003c 1.3.44 - Editor+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2023-5955","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Wp-Adv-Quiz \u003c= 1.0.2 - Admin+ Stored XSS in Quiz Overview","id":"CVE-2023-5956"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Vault Requests Triggering Policy Checks May Lead To Unbounded Memory Consumption","id":"CVE-2023-5954"},"products":["Contact Form Email"],"published":"2023-12-11","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-20964","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-13"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-20963","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-13"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-9646","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-10"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"WordPress Contact Form to Email Plugin \u003c= 1.3.52 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-24727","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-24"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Contact Form Email \u003c 1.3.38 - Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2023-2718","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-12"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"WordPress Contact Form Email plugin \u003c= 1.3.41 - Captcha Bypass vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-48318","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-04"}],"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":"2024-10-01","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"High-privilege users can inject malicious scripts via plugin settings, bypassing unfiltered_html restrictions in multisite environments.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5955/"}
