Technical details
The plugin versions 5.13.1 and earlier contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious JavaScript into web pages. The vulnerability requires user interaction, such as a victim clicking a crafted link or visiting a malicious page, to trigger the exploit. Upon successful exploitation, arbitrary scripts execute in the context of the vulnerable website, enabling attackers to steal sensitive data, hijack user sessions, or perform unauthorized actions. The vulnerability has been patched in version 5.14 and later.
