Summary

The Contact Form by Supsystic WordPress plugin before 1.11.1 does not sandbox the template engine that renders its forms, so stored form-editor content reaches the engine as executable template code (CWE-94). An administrator can use this server-side template injection to execute arbitrary code on the server. The injected template runs whenever a visitor loads a page with the form, so an unauthenticated visitor can read server-side secrets such as authentication salts and database credentials. An exploit is linked in the references.

Description from the CNA

The Contact Form by Supsystic WordPress plugin before 1.11.1 does not sandbox the template engine used to render its forms and allows stored form-editor content to reach that engine as executable template code, enabling an administrator to perform server-side template injection and execute arbitrary code on the server. The injected template is compiled and executed whenever any visitor loads a page containing the form, so the stored payload also lets an unauthenticated visitor read server-side secrets such as authentication salts and database credentials.
