Múltiples vulnerabilidades de secuencias de comandos en sitios cruzados (XSS) en wp-contact-form/options-contactform.php de la extensión (plugin) WP-ContactForm 1.5 alpha y anteriores para WordPress permite a atacantes remotos inyectar secuencias de comandos web o HTML de su elección mediante los parámetros (1) wpcf_email, (2) wpcf_subject, (3) wpcf_question, (4) wpcf_answer, (5) wpcf_success_msg, (6) wpcf_error_msg, o (7) wpcf_msg parameter a wp-admin/admin.php, o (8) el atributo SRC de un elemento IFRAME.

The WP-ContactForm plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the (1) wpcf_email, (2) wpcf_subject, (3) wpcf_question, (4) wpcf_answer, (5) wpcf_success_msg, (6) wpcf_error_msg, and (7) wpcf_msg parameters or the SRC attribute of an IFRAME element in versions up to, and including, 1.5 alpha due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with administrative capabilities to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
