The wpForo Forum WordPress plugin before 3.1.2 does not sanitize and escape a user profile field before outputting it inside an HTML attribute on the public participant profile page, allowing users with a subscriber-level account to inject JavaScript that executes in the browser of any visitor who views the profile, including a logged-in administrator.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
| Vendor | Product | Default status | Versions | ||||||
