Summary

The Stray Random Quotes WordPress plugin prior to version 1.9.9 is susceptible to a critical security vulnerability that allows for Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). This occurs due to the failure to adequately sanitize and escape a user-provided parameter before it is rendered in the browser, enabling attackers to execute malicious scripts. Such exploits can particularly target high-privilege users, including administrators, posing a serious threat to website integrity and user security.
