What is CVE-2023-5467?

The GEO my WordPress plugin for WordPress is affected by a serious vulnerability that enables stored cross-site scripting. This issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping applied to user-supplied attributes in shortcodes.

These scripts will then execute whenever a user visits a compromised page, potentially compromising user trust and site integrity.
