Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Caldera Forms WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.9.7

Description The issue concerns a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting problem. It arises because the cf-api parameter is not properly validated and escaped before being output in the response.

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 API endpoint that uses the cf-api parameter until the update is applied.
