info:
  name: Formidable Forms < 2.05.02 - Cross-Site Scripting
  author: 0xanis
  severity: medium
  description: |
    Formidable Form Builder for WordPress versions before 2.05.03 contains a stored cross-site scripting caused by insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in form parameters like 'after_html', letting unauthenticated attackers inject and execute arbitrary scripts in victims' browsers
  impact: |
    Attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in users' browsers, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or redirection.
  remediation: |
    Update to version 2.05.03 or later.
