WordPress ThinkIT WP Contact Form Plugin Cross-Site Scripting and Request Forgery Vulnerabilities


Description   Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in the ThinkIT WP Contact Form plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and request forgery attacks.
1) Input passed to the "toitcf_current_id" parameter in wp-admin/admin.php (when "page" is set to "toitcf") is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
This vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.2. Prior versions may also be affected.
2) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to e.g. delete a contact form if a logged-in administrator visits a malicious web site.
The vulnerability is confirmed in versions 0.2 and 0.3. Other versions may also be affected.
