Description

The MetForm WordPress plugin before 4.1.9 does not properly neutralize newline characters in user-submitted values that are placed into notification email headers, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject additional email headers, such as Bcc, into the emails the site sends when a submitted field value is configured to populate a header.
