The vulnerability was discovered by researcher SOPROBRO and publicly disclosed on January 7, 2025. This security issue affects the plugin's web page generation functionality due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping (Wordfence Intel, Patchstack Database).

The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS score of 6.4 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N. The security issue stems from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically related to DOM-Based XSS. The vulnerability requires an authenticated user with contributor-level access or higher to exploit (Wordfence Intel).

When exploited, this vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These malicious scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an affected page. This could enable attackers to inject redirects, advertisements, and other HTML payloads that execute in visitors' browsers (Patchstack Database).

Currently, there is no official patch available for this vulnerability. Security experts recommend uninstalling the affected software and finding a replacement as the best course of action. Website administrators should review the vulnerability details and implement mitigations based on their organization's risk tolerance (Wordfence Intel).
