"Vanessa is locked for the movie," a "HSM3" source told the magazine. "She is very happy that the deal is done."
Another source, close to the actress, said Vanessa will sign the contract "within the next week."
Vanessa's return to the popular Disney Channel movie series was put into question after photos of the actress in various compromising states appeared earlier this fall on the internet.

"I want to apologize to my fans, whose support and trust means the world to me. I am embarrassed over this situation and regret having ever taken these photos. I am thankful for the support of my family and friends," Vanessa said in a statement at the time.
Despite the scandal, Disney quickly told the Associated Press that Vanessa was still being sought for "HSM3."
"Vanessa has apologized for what was obviously a lapse in judgment," Disney Channel spokeswoman Patti McTeague said at the time. "We hope she's learned a valuable lesson."
Shooting on the next installment of "High School Musical" is expected to begin in January.
Ashley Tisdale, who plays Sharpay Evans, has also reportedly signed on to return, Us Weekly reported.
A rep for Disney, however, would not confirm the signing of the young actresses for "HSM3" was official.
"We are in negotiations with the cast and have no further comment," a Disney rep told Access.
