What is CVE-2018-1000556?

A vulnerability exists in WordPress versions 4.8 and above that allows an attacker to exploit the system through Cross Site Scripting (XSS). This can occur via the 'delete' function in plugins.php or the core WordPress code. If an attacker crafts a malicious URL containing a payload and sends it to a victim, opening this link will trigger the reflected XSS. This could lead to various client-side attacks, including cookie theft and code injection, posing a significant threat to user data and website security.
