Technical details

A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in WPForms due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of the 'data-sitekey' attribute within the OptinMonster integration. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level permissions or higher can inject malicious JavaScript into post content. The vulnerability is triggered when the OptinMonster plugin is installed and configured with an active inline campaign that emits the 'om.Campaign.load' event. When this event fires, the WPForms handler processes the malicious attribute, leading to script execution in the context of the victim's browser. The issue is addressed in versions following 2.0.0.1.
