CVE-2022-1171

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Vertical scroll recent post WordPress plugin versions prior to 14.0

Description The issue is related to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting problem. The Vertical scroll recent post WordPress plugin does not properly sanitise and escape a parameter before outputting it back in an attribute. This can lead to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting attack.

Recommendations For versions prior to 14.0, update to version 14.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the plugin until a patch is available. Restrict access to the plugin's functionality to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the vulnerable attribute in the plugin's output until the issue is resolved.
