What is CVE-2017-18494?

The Custom Search Plugin for WordPress is prone to multiple Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data.

It is crucial for users of versions prior to 1.36 to apply updates or implement security measures to mitigate these risks.
