Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Happyforms WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.22.0

Description The issue concerns the Happyforms WordPress plugin, which does not properly validate and escape certain block options before outputting them in a page or post where the block is embedded. This could allow users with the contributor role or higher to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.22.0, update to version 1.22.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the Happyforms plugin's block options to minimize the risk of exploitation.
