Technical details
The E2Pdf plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) due to insufficient neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted link to a site administrator or visitor. If the victim clicks the link, the malicious script is executed within the context of their browser session. This can result in the disclosure of sensitive information, such as session cookies, or the execution of arbitrary actions on behalf of the user. The vulnerability is fixed in version 1.32.15.
