id: CVE-2023-2518

info:
  name: WordPress Easy Forms for Mailchimp Plugin < 6.8.9 - Cross-Site Scripting
  author: ritikchaddha
  severity: medium
  description: |
    The Easy Forms for Mailchimp plugin before version 6.8.9 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability. The plugin does not properly sanitize and escape the sql_error parameter before outputting it back in the page when the debug option is enabled, which could allow attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in an administrator's browser context.
  impact: |
    Attackers can inject malicious JavaScript through the sql_error parameter when debug mode is enabled, potentially stealing administrator session cookies and gaining full control over the WordPress site.
  remediation: |
    Update Easy Forms for Mailchimp plugin to version 6.8.9 or later that properly sanitizes and escapes the sql_error parameter before output.
