Technical details

The plugin versions 8.8.3 and earlier are vulnerable to a contributor-level cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to insufficient input sanitization. An attacker with contributor or higher privileges can inject malicious JavaScript code into the site. The vulnerability requires user interaction (such as a visitor clicking a malicious link or visiting a crafted page), and successful exploitation allows script injection that can steal visitor cookies, session tokens, or perform actions on behalf of compromised users. The issue was patched in version 8.8.4.
