Descriptions

The Ninja Forms Contact Form WordPress plugin before 3.6.22 does not properly escape user input before outputting it back in an admin page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which could be used against high privilege users such as admin

The Ninja Forms Contact Form plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'title' parameter in versions up to, and including, 3.6.21 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
