What is CVE-2017-18579?

The Corner-Ad plugin for WordPress, prior to version 1.0.8, is susceptible to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This flaw allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by users. If an attacker successfully exploits this vulnerability, they can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the affected user's session, potentially leading to unauthorized actions, data theft, or defacement of the website. Users of the plugin are advised to update to the latest version to mitigate this security risk.
