This issue affects the animexxx dForms WordPress plugin version 1.0 and all earlier releases. Any WordPress site that has installed this plugin and has not upgraded past 1.0 is potentially vulnerable. Vulnerable installations must be identified and assessed for removal or upgrade.
Risk and Exploitability
The advisory lists a CVSS score of 7.1, indicating a high severity rating, while the EPSS score is below 1%, suggesting that current exploitation likelihood is low but not zero.
