CVE-2026-7052 Details
Description
The HT Contact Form – Drag & Drop Form Builder for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'file_upload' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Exploitation requires the 'Store Submissions' setting to be enabled, as this controls whether unsanitized field values are persisted to the database and subsequently rendered via dangerouslySetInnerHTML in the admin entry viewer.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the HT Contact Form WordPress plugin, specifically in versions up to and including 2.8.2. The issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping in the 'file_upload' parameter. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages, which are executed when a user accesses the affected page. Exploitation of this vulnerability requires the 'Store Submissions' setting to be enabled, as this determines whether unsanitized field values are saved to the database and later displayed using dangerouslySetInnerHTML in the admin entry viewer.
Users are advised to update the HT Contact Form WordPress plugin to version 2.8.3 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
