CVE-2012-20005
SocialFit plugin for WordPress through 1.2.2 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to inject scripts via the unsanitized msg parameter.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.21%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
