Vulnerability Overview

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the Contact Form DB (aka CFDB and contact-form-7-to-database-extension) plugin before 2.8.20 for WordPress allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) form or (2) enc parameter in the CF7DBPluginShortCodeBuilder page to wp-admin/admin.php. A partial patch was released in version 2.8.16 but the problem was not fully resolved until 2.8.20.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.8.20, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')) The product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users.
