Summary

The Magic Fields Plugin for WordPress, prior to version 1.7.2, is susceptible to a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This issue arises due to insufficient validation of the custom-field-css parameter in the RCCWP_CreateCustomFieldPage.php file. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of the user's browser, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data theft. It is crucial for users of the affected plugin to update to the latest version to mitigate this security risk.
