Overview
The Form Maker by 10Web WordPress plugin before version 1.15.33 contains a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This security issue affects high-privilege users such as administrators, allowing them to perform stored XSS attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed, which is particularly concerning in multisite setups (WPScan).

Impact
When exploited, this vulnerability allows administrators to store and execute malicious JavaScript code through the plugin's Theme Title field.
