Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
HTML Injection in the public subscription form in maalfer MailerUp before 1.1.3 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to have the application send a message carrying arbitrary HTML, to an attacker-chosen address and from the form owner's configured sending identity, via the first_name field of the subscription request, which is interpolated unescaped into the double opt-in verification email.
