Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions iframe forms plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.0

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'iframe' shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages, which will execute when a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.0, consider disabling the 'iframe' shortcode until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to pages that use the 'iframe' shortcode to minimize the risk of arbitrary web script injection.
