Summary

The Guten Free Options plugin for WordPress, up to and including version 0.9.5, is vulnerable to reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) due to the failure to properly sanitize and escape user input. This vulnerability allows malicious actors to craft a URL that, when accessed by a user, can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the user's browser. This is particularly dangerous for high privilege users, such as administrators, who may unwittingly execute harmful actions. Ensuring that all parameters are properly sanitized before being rendered on the page is essential to maintaining website security.

Affected Version(s)

Guten Free Options 0 <= 0.9.5

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
