Technical details

This could lead to various attacks including cookie theft, session hijacking, or other client-side attacks (NVD Database).

Mitigation and workarounds

The vulnerability has been patched in version 3.5.4 of the AM LottiePlayer plugin. Site administrators are strongly advised to update to this version immediately. The fix can be found in the WordPress plugin repository (WordPress Plugin).
