Overview

Umbraco Forms, a form builder that integrates with the Umbraco content management system, was found to contain a vulnerability in its 'Send email' workflow functionality.

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-116 (Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output). The 'Send email' workflow fails to properly HTML encode user-provided field values in sent email messages.
