Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Kacper Szurek.

The Smart Forms – when you need more than just a contact form plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on the rednao_smart_forms_save_form_values function in versions up to, and including, 2.1.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to edit forms, including entering stored cross-site scripting, as output is not properly escaped.
