Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Fluent Forms plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 5.1.9

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The exploitation level depends on who is granted the right to create forms by an administrator, which can be as low as contributor, but by default is admin.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 5.1.9, update to a version higher than 5.1.9 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the right to create forms to only trusted administrators to minimize the risk of exploitation.
