CVE-2014-8539
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Simple Email Form 1.8.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the mod_simpleemailform_field2_1 parameter to index.php.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.87%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
