Stored XSS in CF7 Apps Plugin for WordPress

Publication date: 2026-11-13

Last updated on: 2026-11-13

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The CF7 Apps – Honeypot, Database, Redirection, Webhook, and Addons for Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'wpcf7-form (CF7 form body; the [honeypot ...] tag value)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This is only a meaningful privilege escalation on multisite installations or those with DISALLOW_UNFILTERED_HTML enabled, as Editor-level users on default single-site installs already possess the unfiltered_html capability.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue in the CF7 Apps plugin for WordPress. It allows authenticated attackers with custom-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts into web pages via the 'wpcfot7-form' parameter.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability enables attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts when users access infected pages. This could lead to unauthorized actions, data theft, or defacement. The impact is more severe on multisite installations or sites with DISALLOW_UNFILTERED_HTML enabled, as it allows privilege escalation beyond default Editor roles.
