CVE-2021-24705
Last modified
CVE-2021-24705 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The NEX-Forms WordPress plugin before 8.4.3 does not have CSRF checks in place when editing a form, and does not escape some of its settings as well as form fields before outputting them in attributes. This could allow attackers to make a logged in admin edit arbitrary forms with Cross-Site Scripting payloads in them. EPSS estimates a 0.30% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
