Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WebDorado Contact Form plugin versions prior to 1.13.5

Description The issue allows for CSRF via the "wp-admin/admin-ajax.php" API endpoint, specifically through the action parameter, which can lead to local file inclusion via directory traversal. This is due to a discrepancy between the $ POST['action'] value and the $ GET['action'] value, where the latter is unsanitized.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.13.5, update to version 1.13.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "wp-admin/admin-ajax.php" API endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using unsanitized action parameters in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved.
