CVE-2024-12037: Frontend Content Forms for User Submissions (UGC) <= 2.8.13 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting
Description
The Post Form – Registration Form – Profile Form for User Profiles – Frontend Content Forms for User Submissions (UGC) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'bf_new_submission_link' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.13 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.
