Until a patch or official fix is released, users should consider disabling or removing the vulnerable plugin to prevent exploitation. Monitor official channels from the plugin author for updates. Avoid accessing or sharing pages that might contain injected scripts. No vendor advisory or patch links are currently available.

Description

The Contact Form 7 Database Addon plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘tmpD’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
