Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Contact Form by BestWebSoft plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 4.2.8

Description The issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts via the cntctfrm contact address parameter. This enables attackers to execute scripts on pages if they can trick a user into performing a specific action, such as clicking on a link.

Recommendations For versions up to and including 4.2.8, update to a version higher than 4.2.8 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the cntctfrm contact address parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
