Technical details

The plugin is vulnerable to stored XSS in the message and pageUrl parameters due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping across all versions up to 2.5.2. Exploitation requires that debug logging with JS error logging is enabled on the site and the attacker obtains the publicly broadcast dlmVars.jsErrorLogging nonce to pass validation on the unauthenticated endpoint. Once injected, the malicious script persists and executes for all users accessing affected pages.
