What is CVE-2024-12405?

The Export Customers Data plugin for WordPress contains a security vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to exploit Reflected Cross-Site Scripting through the 't' parameter. This exploitation arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping mechanisms.

It is critical for website administrators using this plugin to update to a secure version and implement best practices for input validation to safeguard against potential exploitation.
