Summary
The Sassy Social Share plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting flaw through the 'urls' parameter during the 'heateor_sss_sharing_count' AJAX action. The vulnerability arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, enabling unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary scripts into web pages. If a user interacts with a manipulated element, such as clicking a link, these scripts may execute in their browser context, potentially leading to malicious actions and compromised user data. Users and administrators should ensure they are running the latest version of the plugin to mitigate this risk.
