The replyto parameter when composing a mail allows for a reflected XSS.
MEDIUM 6.1EPSS 0.96%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.96%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
An issue was discovered in the WP Mail plugin before 1.2 for WordPress. The replyto parameter when composing a mail allows for a reflected XSS. This would allow you to execute JavaScript in the context of the user receiving the mail.
