# Contact Form Email WordPress plugin: stored XSS through 1.3.68

The Contact Form Email plugin by Codepeople, versions through 1.3.68, does not neutralize input before rendering it in a page, which makes it a stored cross-site scripting flaw. An attacker who can get script into a form field can run JavaScript in the browser of anyone who later views the stored data, such as an administrator.

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

## How to check

- Check whether the `contact-form-to-email` plugin is installed and its version in the WordPress admin plugins list or `wp plugin list`
- unknown for any other check, the sources do not say which pages or settings render the stored input
