Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-116: Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output, where the product prepares a structured message for communication with another component, but encoding or escaping of the data is either missing or done incorrectly. as a result, the intended structure of the message is not preserved. In Umbraco.Forms, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact The 'Send email' workflow does not HTML encode the user-provided field values in the sent email message, making any form with this workflow configured vulnerable, as it allows sending the message from a trusted system and address (potentially bypassing spam and email client security systems). ### Patches This issue affects all (supported) versions Umbraco Forms and is patched in 13.4.2 and 15.1.2. ### Workarounds Unpatched or unsupported versions can workaround this issue by using the 'Send email with template (Razor)' workflow instead or [writing a custom workflow type](https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-forms/developer/extending/adding-a-workflowtype). To avoid accidentally using the vulnerable workflow again, the `SendEmail` workflow type can be removed using the following composer (tested on Umbraco 10, 13, 14 and 15): ```c# using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Composing; using Umbraco.Forms.Core.Providers.Extensions; using Umbraco.Forms.Core.Providers.WorkflowTypes; internal sealed class RemoveFormsSendEmailWorkflowTypeComposer : IComposer { public void Compose(IUmbracoBuilder builder) => builder.FormsWorkflows().Exclude<SendEmail>(); } ```
