WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Best Contact Management Software < 3.8 - Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting

Description

The plugin does not sanitise and escape its settings, allowing high privilege users such as admin to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed.

Proof of Concept

Put the following payload in the "No Access Message" settings (/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wp_easy_contact_settings&tab=misc): <script>alert(/XSS/);</script>

The XSS will be triggered when someone access any quote without enough privileges

Affects Plugins

Fixed in 3.8
