CWE-79Published: January 27, 2024· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
The Contact Form Plugin – Fastest Contact Form Builder Plugin for WordPress by Fluent Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via imported form titles in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2024-0618 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires high privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-79): Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
