# Technical Details and Exploitation:
CRM Form Entries CRM is vulnerable to a Stored XSS in Client IP field.

Host: dsp.com:11080
Content-Length: 1411
Accept: application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01

------WebKitFormBoundaryCuNGXLnhRsdglEAx
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="_wpcf7_container_post"
...
===============================================================================================================
The request is acccepted, and the code navigates the section $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'] , ip is injected and saved inside the database.
