What is CVE-2016-1000150?

The Simplified Content plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This issue arises from inadequate input sanitization during the processing of requests, allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts. When a victim clicks on a crafted link, the injected script executes within the user's browser, potentially leading to session hijacking, redirection, or other malicious activities. Users are advised to upgrade to the latest version and implement proper sanitization measures to mitigate this security risk.
