Technical details

This is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the RegistrationMagic WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 6.0.9.8) that allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious JavaScript code. The vulnerability likely stems from insufficient input validation or output encoding in form handling or display logic. An attacker can craft a malicious URL or form submission that injects JavaScript; when a user visits the affected page or submits a form, the malicious script executes in the context of their browser session. This can lead to account hijacking, credential theft, session stealing, or malware distribution. The vulnerability has been patched in version 6.0.9.9 and later; administrators should update immediately.
