Vulnerability Overview

The Contact Form by Supsystic plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.28. This is due to the functionality being vulnerable to server-side template injection (SSTI). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to execute code on the server.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.7.29, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')) The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment.
