AI-suggested

Until an official fix is released, users should consider disabling the plugin or applying manual input sanitization and output escaping if feasible. Avoid clicking on suspicious links that may exploit this vulnerability.

Description

The WPLG Default Mail From plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the `$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']` variable in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
