Contact Us Page – Contact People WordPress Plugin Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Contact Us Page – Contact People plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 3.7.4. The issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, allowing authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary scripts. These scripts are executed when users access the affected pages.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for stored cross-site scripting, where injected scripts are executed in the context of the user viewing the page.

Remediation

Users can update to version 3.7.5, which addresses this vulnerability by escaping all variables before output. Instructions for updating can be found on the WordPress Plugin Directory page for this plugin.
