Contact Form Check Tester <= 1.0.2 - Broken Access Control to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.
QFinch assessment
The Contact Form Check Tester WordPress plugin through 1.0.2 settings are visible to all registered users in the dashboard and are lacking any sanitisation. As a result, any registered user, such as subscriber, can leave an XSS payload in the plugin settings, which will be triggered by any user visiting them, and could allow for privilege escalation. The vendor decided to close the plugin.
