What is CVE-2024-9938?

The Bounce Handler MailPoet 3 plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability that allows for Reflected Cross-Site Scripting through the 'page' parameter. This issue arises from a lack of sufficient input sanitization and output escaping, exposing users to risks where malicious actors can inject arbitrary web scripts. If a user is deceived into clicking on a manipulated link, the malicious script executes within their browser session, potentially compromising sensitive information or allowing further attacks.
