Unauth. Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Creative Solutions Contact Form Generator plugin <= 2.5.5 versions.
The Contact Form Generator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the id parameter in versions up to, and including, 2.5.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.
