Summary

The ClickWhale plugin for WordPress contains a vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to exploit Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) flaws. The issue arises from improper use of add_query_arg and remove_query_arg, which fail to adequately escape URLs. Consequently, attackers can inject arbitrary scripts, potentially compromising user security by tricking users into clicking malicious links, thus executing the injected scripts on their browsers.
