Summary

The Magic Tooltips For Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting via the 'author' parameter in versions up to and including 1.0.34. Unauthenticated attackers can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when a user accesses an injected page. This is possible because the plugin's esc_html filter callback decodes HTML-entity-encoded payloads back into live HTML.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves potential execution of malicious scripts in administrators' browsers, which could lead to data theft or further attacks. The attack can be performed by anyone without authentication.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Magic Tooltips For Contact Form 7 plugin to the latest version with a fix. Also consider strengthening input validation in comments.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Magic Tooltips For Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'author' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.34 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. This is possible because the plugin's esc_html filter callback decodes HTML-entity-encoded payloads (e.g. those containing '<tip>') back into live HTML, meaning an entity-encoded script payload submitted as a comment author name — which bypasses sanitize_text_field — is rendered as executable markup when an administrator views wp-admin/edit-comments.php.
