CVE-2022-1583

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions External Links in New Window / New Tab WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.43

Description The issue concerns the External Links in New Window / New Tab WordPress plugin, where it fails to set window.opener to null when users click on links to external sites. This oversight may enable tabnabbing attacks to occur.
