Users should verify if the 'Save every step' option in Multi Step for Contact Form 7 and the 'Expandable' table option in the Database for Contact Form 7 plugin are enabled; if so, consider disabling these features to mitigate risk.

Description
The Multi Step for Contact Form 7 WordPress plugin up to version 2.9.1 contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability via the multipart field name parameter. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute when users access affected pages. Exploitation requires specific plugin options ('Save every step' and 'Expandable' table) to be enabled, which are disabled by default.
