Low risk5th percentile - higher than 5% of all known CVEs
Summary
The MW WP Form WordPress plugin before 5.1.5 does not prevent shortcodes in user-submitted values from being executed when it merges those values into a message that it later processes for shortcodes, allowing unauthenticated users to run any shortcode registered on the site. Exploitation requires the site to have been configured to echo a submitted value back to the visitor after submission.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can execute arbitrary shortcodes, potentially leading to unauthorized actions such as content modification, data theft, or privilege escalation.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the MW WP Form plugin to version 5.1.5 or later.
