CVE-2024-3866

The Ninja Forms Contact Form plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Self-Based Cross-Site Scripting via the 'Referer' header in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.15 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires "maintenance mode" for a targeted form to be enabled. However, there is no setting available to the attacker or even an administrator-level user to enable this mode. The mode is only enabled during a required update, which is a very short window of time. Additionally, because of the self-based nature of this vulnerability, attackers would have to rely on additional techniques to execute a supplied payload in the context of targeted user.

Summary
  • (es) El complemento Ninja Forms Contact Form para WordPress es vulnerable a Reflected Self-Based Cross-Site Scripting a través del encabezado "Referer" en todas las versiones hasta la 3.8.15 incluida, debido a una desinfección de entrada y un escape de salida insuficientes. Esto permite que atacantes no autenticados inyecten secuencias de comandos web arbitrarias en páginas que se ejecutan si logran engañar a un usuario para que realice una acción, como hacer clic en un enlace. Para explotar con éxito esta vulnerabilidad, es necesario habilitar el "modo de mantenimiento" para un formulario específico. Sin embargo, no hay ninguna configuración disponible para el atacante o incluso para un usuario de nivel administrador para habilitar este modo. El modo solo se habilita durante una actualización requerida, que es un período de tiempo muy breve. Además, debido a la naturaleza basada en el auto-reflejo de esta vulnerabilidad, los atacantes tendrían que depender de técnicas adicionales para ejecutar un payload proporcionado en el contexto del usuario específico.
