Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ninja-forms plugin versions prior to 3.4.24.2

Description The issue allows for Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) with resultant Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). This means an attacker can trick a user into performing unintended actions on a web application, potentially leading to the execution of malicious scripts.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.4.24.2, update to version 3.4.24.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider implementing additional CSRF protection measures, such as token-based validation, to minimize the risk of exploitation. Restrict access to sensitive areas of the plugin to minimize the risk of XSS attacks until the issue is resolved.
