What is CVE-2015-9360?

The UpdraftPlus plugin for WordPress, prior to version 1.9.64, is susceptible to a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This issue arises from improper handling of parameters in the add_query_arg() and remove_query_arg() functions, allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts into the input fields. Exploiting this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized actions being executed in the context of another user, ultimately compromising the integrity of web applications using this plugin. Users are strongly advised to update to the latest version to mitigate this risk.
