Technical details
The SureForms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the 'headingWrapper' parameter within the Advanced Heading block. The vulnerability exists in all versions up to and including 2.8.1. An authenticated attacker with at least contributor-level permissions can inject arbitrary JavaScript into a page. This script executes in the context of any user (including administrators) who subsequently visits the compromised page. The issue was addressed in version 2.8.2 by improving sanitization within the Gutenberg block distribution files.
