What is CVE-2022-38055?

The vulnerability in gVectors Team's wpForo Forum arises from improper handling of script-related HTML tags, allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages. This can lead to content spoofing where the malicious content displayed to users may compromise their interaction with the forum. Users running any version of wpForo Forum up to 2.0.9 are particularly at risk, as this flaw exploits the plugin's inability to properly neutralize certain input, thereby creating opportunities for various web-based attacks. Securing against this vulnerability requires timely updates and careful validation of input data.
