Descriptions

The WS Form LITE and Pro WordPress plugins before 1.8.176 do not sanitise and escape their Form Name, which could allow high privilege users to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed.

Los plugins WS Form LITE y Pro de WordPress versiones anteriores a 1.8.176, no sanean ni escapan el nombre de sus formularios, lo que podría permitir a usuarios con altos privilegios llevar a cabo ataques de tipo Cross-Site Scripting incluso cuando la capacidad unfiltered_html está deshabilitada.
