**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** wpForo Forum WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.9.7 **Description** The issue is related to an open redirect problem after a successful login, caused by the lack of validation of the `redirect to` parameter in the login form of the forum. This could allow an attacker to trick a user into using a login URL that redirects to a malicious website, which could be a replica of the legitimate one, prompting the user to re-enter their credentials. These credentials would then be in the attacker's hands. **Recommendations** For versions prior to 1.9.7, update to version 1.9.7 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the login form or validating the `redirect to` parameter manually until a patch is applied. Avoid using the `redirect to` parameter in the login URL until the issue is resolved.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Stop Spammers WordPress plugin versions prior to 2021.9 **Description** The issue arises from insufficient escaping of user input when blocking requests, such as matching a spam word. This leads to a reflected Cross-Site Scripting issue because the input is only sanitized to remove HTML tags, which is not sufficient. **Recommendations** For versions prior to 2021.9, update to version 2021.9 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the plugin until a patch is available. Restrict access to areas where user input is processed to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the plugin for blocking requests based on user input until the issue is resolved.
