Overview
The GatorMail SmartForms plugin for WordPress contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability (CVE-2024-11386) in versions up to and including 1.1.0. The vulnerability exists in the plugin's 'gatormailsmartform' shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes (NVD).

The vulnerability stems from improper sanitization of user input in the 'gatormailsmartform' shortcode functionality (NVD).
Impact
When exploited, this vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These malicious scripts will execute whenever a user accesses the compromised page (NVD).
Mitigation and workarounds
Users should update their GatorMail SmartForms plugin to a version newer than 1.1.0 when available. Until then, it is recommended to restrict access to the plugin's functionality to trusted users only (WordPress Plugin).
