Descriptions

The Contact Form Email WordPress plugin before 1.3.38 does not escape submitted values before displaying them in the HTML, leading to a Stored XSS vulnerability.

The Contact Form Email plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'Message' field in versions up to, and including, 1.3.37 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
