## Technical details

The plugin insufficiently sanitizes and escapes the 'comment' parameter, leading to stored cross-site scripting (XSS). An unauthenticated attacker can inject arbitrary JavaScript into comments on any post, and the script persists and executes for all subsequent visitors. Exploitation requires the target site to allow unmoderated comments and have a secondary language configured.
