Vulnerability Overview

The Contact Form Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'formId' parameter for Subscriber+ attackers and 'xyz_cfm_pagelimit', 'xyz_cfm_recaptchaPrivateKey', 'xyz_cfm_recaptchaPublicKey' parameters for Admin+ attackers in versions up to, and including, 1.4.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. Attackers can inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.4.2, 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.
