What is CVE-2020-5392?

The Auth0 plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability, which arises from improper sanitization of user inputs on the settings page. This flaw allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts that can be executed in the context of other users accessing the compromised settings page, potentially leading to unauthorized actions and data exposure. Users are encouraged to update to version 4.0.0 or later to mitigate this security risk.
