Summary
The NEX-Forms plugin by Basix for WordPress is affected from n/a through 9.3.1. User input is not neutralized when the plugin generates web pages, which enables reflected cross-site scripting (CWE-79). A remote attacker without privileges can run script in a victim's browser if the victim interacts with a crafted link, and the script's impact extends beyond the plugin itself.
