Summary
The WPForms plugin for WordPress up to version 1.10.2 is vulnerable to CRLF Injection, allowing email header injection. The flaw occurs due to improper handling of the Reply-To display name, enabling unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary headers like Bcc into outgoing notification emails.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can silently blind-copy notification emails to an attacker-controlled address, leading to potential data leakage of sensitive information submitted via forms (e.g., personal data, inquiries).
Recommendation
Immediately update the WPForms plugin to the latest available version that fixes this vulnerability. If an update is not possible, temporarily disable the use of Paragraph Text (textarea) fields as the Reply-To display name in notifications.
Original NVD description (English source)
The WPForms – Easy Form Builder for WordPress – Contact Forms, Payment Forms, Surveys, & More plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences ('CRLF Injection') in all versions up to, and including, 1.10.2 This is due to `get_reply_to_address()` processing the Reply-To display name through smart-tag expansion with context `'notification'` instead of `'notification-reply-to'`, which bypasses email-address validation while `wpforms_sanitize_textarea_field()` intentionally preserves CR/LF characters that are never stripped before the display name is concatenated into the raw `Reply-To:` mail header string. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary additional email headers — such as `Bcc:` — into outgoing notification emails, silently blind-copying all notification email copies to an attacker-controlled address. Exploitation requires that a form notification is configured to use a Paragraph Text (textarea) field as the Reply-To display name via a Smart Tag.
