Technical details

Improper neutralization of user input during web page generation allows reflected cross-site scripting (XSS). The plugin fails to sanitize query parameters or form inputs before rendering them back in the HTML response. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a malicious link and send it to site visitors; when clicked, the injected script executes in their browser with access to their session and sensitive data.
