2

Which installations are affected?

Happyforms plugin versions 1.26.15 and earlier are affected according to the available data. The provided information does not state whether any particular Happyforms configuration or feature must be enabled.

Successful cross-site scripting can affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability at low impact levels. The scope is changed, meaning the impact may extend beyond the vulnerable component's original security authority.
