Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Awesome Contact Form7 for Elementor plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.9

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'AEP Contact Form 7' widget due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.9, update the plugin to a version that includes the necessary security patches to address the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the 'AEP Contact Form 7' widget for users with contributor-level access and above until a patch is available.
