Technical details

The plugin fails to sanitize user-submitted form field values before using them in email recipient addresses, enabling email header injection. An attacker exploits this by submitting crafted form data when a recipient field is configured to use submitted values (via shortcodes), allowing arbitrary email redirection. No authentication is required; the vulnerability is triggered through normal form submission.
