Summary

The Flaming Forms plugin for WordPress, specifically version 1.0.1, is susceptible to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability due to improper sanitization and escaping of user-provided parameters. This flaw can be exploited by an attacker to inject malicious scripts, compromising the security of high-privilege users, such as administrators. As these scripts can be executed in the context of the affected user’s session, it exposes sensitive data and allows a range of malicious activities. Users of the Flaming Forms plugin are advised to evaluate their installations and apply any available updates or mitigations to enhance their security posture.

Affected Version(s)

Flaming Forms 0 <= 1.0.1

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
