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-2026-8172 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Simple Basic Contact 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-2026-8172/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8172/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-8172","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8172/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-8172","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x74w-29rh-ccvr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in site visitors' browsers via crafted links due to improper input escaping in the contact form.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The Simple Basic Contact Form WordPress plugin through 20250114 does not escape user-supplied input before reflecting it into the contact form output on validation errors, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability that unauthenticated attackers can exploit against site visitors via a crafted link or cross-site form submission.","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":"Simple Basic Contact Form \u003c= 20250114 - Reflected XSS","id":"CVE-2026-8172","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Information Disclosure via 'Copy learned MAC Addresses' Function","id":"CVE-2026-8173"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ExtremeXOS Privilege Escalation via Symlink Following in File Utilities","id":"CVE-2026-8170"},"products":["Simple Basic Contact Form"],"published":"2026-06-23","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-06-23","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in site visitors' browsers via crafted links due to improper input escaping in the contact form.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-8172/"}
