Until an official fix is available, users should consider disabling or restricting access to the affected REST API endpoint or applying custom input sanitization and output escaping as a temporary mitigation.
Description
The Database for CF7 WordPress plugin is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting (XSS) via array form field values in all versions up to and including 1.2.6. This vulnerability arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary scripts that execute when a user accesses the affected page. The issue is exploitable through the Contact Form 7 REST API endpoint, which accepts array-structured input and stores it without proper filtering.
