CVE-2024-10884: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in simpleform SimpleForm Contact Form Submissions
The SimpleForm Contact Form Submissions plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting due to the use of add_query_arg & remove_query_arg without appropriate escaping on the URL in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.0.
