Technical details

The plugin fails to sanitize and escape user-supplied values in the 'field_attr' parameter before reflecting them into HTML attributes in an AJAX response. The vulnerable endpoint is protected by an anonymous nonce that only validates for logged-out requests, meaning the XSS payload executes against unauthenticated visitors rather than authenticated users. An attacker can craft a malicious URL to trigger the vulnerability without authentication.
