Contact Form 7 Datepicker <= 2.6.0 - Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

Description

Contact Form 7 Datepicker registers an AJAX action to save settings which calls a function that fails to perform a capability check or nonce check. As such, a logged-in attacker with minimal permissions (such as a subscriber) can send a crafted request which will store a malicious JavaScript in the plugin's settings. The next time an authorized user created or modified a contact form, the stored JavaScript would be executed in their browser, which could be used to steal an administrator’s session or even create malicious administrative users.
