What is CVE-2015-2315?

The WPML plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts or HTML. This issue arises when user-supplied input is not properly sanitized, particularly through the 'target' parameter in a 'reminder_popup' action. If exploited, it can compromise site security and user data.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
