CVE-2026-15735: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in itpathsolutions Contact Form to Any API
The Contact Form to Any API WordPress plugin up to version 3.0.6 contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This flaw allows authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts via the 'cf7anyapi_form_field' post meta. These scripts execute when any user views the affected page, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data exposure. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

Technical Summary
CVE-2026-15735 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Contact Form to Any API WordPress plugin by itpathsolutions. Versions up to and including 3.0.6 are affected. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level privileges or above can inject arbitrary web scripts through the 'cf7anyapi_form_field' post meta due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation.

Potential Impact
Successful exploitation enables an attacker with contributor-level access or higher to execute arbitrary scripts in the browsers of users who view the compromised pages. This can lead to theft of user credentials, session hijacking, or other malicious actions performed with the victim's privileges. The vulnerability does not impact availability but compromises confidentiality and integrity to a limited extent.
Mitigation Recommendations
