WordPress · Contact Form Entries · CVE-2021-25079
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Contact Form Entries WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.2.4
**Description**
The issue concerns the Contact Form Entries WordPress plugin, which does not properly sanitise and escape various parameters, including `form id`, `status`, `end date`, `order`, `orderby`, and `search`, before outputting them back in the admin page. This lack of sanitisation and escaping can lead to potential security issues.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 1.2.4, update to version 1.2.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the admin page or limiting the use of the affected parameters until a patch is applied. Avoid using the parameters `form id`, `status`, `end date`, `order`, `orderby`, and `search` in the admin page until the issue is resolved.
