Technical details

The vulnerability is a reflected XSS flaw in the plugin's front-end AJAX handler, which processes the 'formData[id]' parameter without proper input sanitization or output escaping. The vulnerable handler is registered on the public 'wp' AJAX action with no nonce, capability, or referrer checks, making it accessible to unauthenticated users. When an attacker-controlled ID value is interpolated into an exception message and echoed back as HTML (rather than JSON), the browser parses and executes any injected JavaScript. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 2.0.17; patched versions should implement input validation, output escaping, and proper AJAX security checks.
