Description

The WebDorado Contact Form plugin before 1.13.5 for WordPress allows CSRF via the wp-admin/admin-ajax.php action parameter, with resultant local file inclusion via directory traversal, because there can be a discrepancy between the $_POST['action'] value and the $_GET['action'] value, and the latter is unsanitized.

Affected products

Web-Dorado Contact Form: before 1.13.5 — fixed in 1.13.5

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Web-Dorado Contact Form 1.13.5. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
