The ARforms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via the Referer header in all versions up to, and including, 7.2.4. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

The arf_save_incomplete_form_data() AJAX handler is registered with wp_ajax_nopriv_, which allows unauthenticated attackers to store a malicious payload by submitting a partial form entry with a forged Referer header. This allows for the injection of arbitrary web scripts that execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
