# Redirection for Contact Form 7 WordPress plugin: stored XSS via lead debug metabox

The Redirection for Contact Form 7 WordPress plugin before 3.2.12 does not escape submitted form data when it shows lead entries in the debug metabox. An unauthenticated attacker can store a script that runs in the browser of a logged-in user who views that entry while debug mode is enabled.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._
