Summary
The Everest Forms Contact Form, Payment Form, Quiz, Survey & Custom Form Builder with AI plugin for WordPress, in all versions up to and including 3.6.2, does not sanitize or escape the evf_toast_type parameter, which is a reflected cross-site scripting flaw (CWE-79). An unauthenticated attacker can inject arbitrary web script that runs in a user's browser if the user is tricked into clicking a crafted link. Exploitation also requires the sibling evf_toast parameter to decode successfully via atob().

Description from the CNA
The Everest Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form, Quiz, Survey & Custom Form Builder with AI plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'evf_toast_type' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. Exploitation requires the sibling evf_toast parameter to decode successfully via atob(), but this is a trivially attacker-controlled prerequisite.
