Technical details

A Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Form Vibes – Database Manager for Forms plugin for WordPress due to improper neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation (CWE-79). The vulnerability can be exploited by an unauthenticated remote attacker. Successful exploitation requires a victim with higher privileges (such as an administrator) to perform an action, such as clicking a malicious link. Once executed, the attacker's script runs within the context of the victim's browser session, potentially allowing for session hijacking or unauthorized administrative actions. The issue is resolved in version 1.5.3.
