What is CVE-2018-5363?

The WPGlobus plugin version 1.9.6 for WordPress is susceptible to a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attack. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input validation for the parameters wpglobus_option[enabled_languages][en] and wpglobus_option[enabled_languages][fr] in the wp-admin/options.php file.
