Summary
getformwork Formwork versions from 2.3.0 before 2.3.13 are affected. The URI sanitizer in DomSanitizer::sanitizeNodeAttribute does not neutralize input in the formaction argument, which allows cross-site scripting (CWE-79). A remote attacker with low privileges can trigger it, but a user must interact with the crafted content.
