CVE-2021-25101
The Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall WordPress plugin before 4.20.94 does not sanitise and escape the POST data before outputting it back in attributes of an admin page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site scripting.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.60%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
