The User Activity Log Pro WordPress plugin before version 2.3.4 contains a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. The vulnerability exists because the plugin does not properly escape recorded User-Agents in the user activity logs dashboard. This security issue was discovered by Bartlomiej Marek and Tomasz Swiadek, and was publicly disclosed on September 29, 2023 (WPScan).
The vulnerability has been assigned CVE-2023-5167 and received a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.4 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N.

The vulnerability specifically affects the user activity logs dashboard where User-Agent strings are not properly sanitized before being displayed (NVD, WPScan).
When exploited, this vulnerability allows visitors to conduct Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. The successful exploitation could lead to the execution of arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of other users' browsers who access the activity logs dashboard, potentially compromising sensitive information or performing actions on behalf of the affected users (WPScan).
The vulnerability has been fixed in version 2.3.4 of the User Activity Log Pro WordPress plugin. Site administrators are strongly advised to update to this version or later to protect against potential XSS attacks (WPScan).
