CVE-2023-7063Network attack vector

Unauthenticated stored XSS via form submission parameters

Published Jan 20, 2024 · Updated May 30, 2025

Stored XSS in WPForms Pro 1.8.5.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject scripts through form submission parameters. Published records identify the form-submission path but do not disclose the specific function that fails to sanitize stored values and escape them when rendered. No account is required; the script executes when a user accesses an injected page, exposing data and actions available to that user's site session.
