Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Newsletter Subscriptions plugin for WordPress versions prior to 2.1
Description
The issue is related to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the
token type parameter due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action, such as clicking on a link.Recommendations
For versions prior to 2.1, update to a version that includes the necessary security patches to address the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issues related to the
token type parameter. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the token type parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
