Overview

A Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in the Multilang Contact Form WordPress plugin, identified as CVE-2025-22795. The vulnerability affects versions up to and including 1.5 of the plugin, which was discovered and reported by researcher LVT-tholv2k on December 16, 2024, and publicly disclosed on January 13, 2025. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the plugin (WPScan, Patchstack).

Technical details

The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1 (High) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L. It is classified as CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation. The vulnerability requires no authentication to exploit but does require user interaction (NVD, Patchstack).

Impact

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages that will execute when users perform specific actions, such as clicking on a malicious link. This could enable attackers to inject malicious scripts, redirects, advertisements, and other HTML payloads into the website, which would be executed when guests visit the site (Patchstack).

Mitigation and workarounds

Currently, there is no official fix available for this vulnerability. The software is considered abandoned as it hasn't been updated for over a year. Users are advised to either remove and replace the plugin or implement virtual patching through security services. Patchstack has issued a virtual patch to mitigate this issue by blocking attacks until an official fix becomes available (Patchstack).
