Technical details

Stored cross-site scripting via insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the yotu-wp Cookie-Blocker Filter component. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a comment with an allow-listed tag containing a payload hidden in quoted attribute values; WordPress's wp_kses allows the comment, but the plugin's str_replace() filter rewrites the attribute context and exposes the executable script. The XSS requires comment approval before execution.
