Descriptions

Unauth. Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in WPForms WPForms Lite (wpforms-lite), WPForms WPForms Pro (wpforms) plugins <= 1.8.1.2 versions.

The Contact Form by WPForms (Free and Premium) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 1.8.1.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on debug data. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Unauth. Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in WPForms WPForms Lite (wpforms-lite), WPForms WPForms Pro (wpforms) plugins <= 1.8.1.2 versions.
